Notable British Families, 1600s-1900s
About the Data
This data set is made up of the images of the pages of eleven volumes containing detailed lineages of prominent British families (often with connections to the United States). Produced in collaboration with the Genealogical Publishing Company, this data set references approximately 429,000 individuals. Few names are as highly regarded in English genealogy as Burke's. Not only did the Burkes compile authoritative works on English genealogy, they also created a unique genealogical style, specifically, a method of laying out pedigrees in narrative form. Burke's pedigrees are easy to read, easy to follow, easy to understand. In general, each genealogical study begins with a brief biographical sketch followed by information about that person's lineage. Often, you'll learn details of education, service, occupation, honors, collateral families, places of birth, residence, death, and descriptions of arms. While most of the volumes included here deal with British lineages, two of the volumes detail the lineages of American families.
