Unearth the family trees behind Nottingham's gentry. A crucial resource for genealogists. The Visitations of the County of Nottingham in the years 1569 and 1614, with many other descents of the same county, gathers the heralds' visitations, pedigrees and armorial bearings that record Nottinghamshire lineage across late Tudor and early Stuart decades. Presented as a historical pedigrees anthology and a rigorous English heraldry collection, this volume functions as both a usable genealogy reference book and a fleshed source for family tree research.
