Tracing Your Ancestors in South Yorkshire Guide

 * The 4 archive and local studies services in South Yorkshire (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield) have worked together to compile a single guide to the main genealogical material in their offices and elsewhere. This guide is a supplement to more detailed information available on their websites.
 * Download the guide. It tells you what genealogical sources are available and where they are to be found. 
 * The key genealogical resources are listed in church, chapel and cemetery registers, trade directories and probate records.
 * More information than ever before is being made available online, not only by ourselves but also by genealogical websites such as Ancestry.com, FindMyPast and Genes Reunited, etc.
