The Genealogical Dark Ages
Finding Printed Pedigrees and Family Histories
The Genealogical Dark Ages
Back in the days before the advent of the personal computer and the internet we would have found our genealogical forebears hard at work in their local archives hunting through original records for the documentary traces of their ancestors - or would we
Today if I go hunting my ancestors at any of the online sites such as Ancestry or The British Newspaper Archive as well as original records such as births wills or newspaper articles I also use finding aids such as Pallots Index to Marriages or the National Probate Calendar These were produced either by the original holders of the records such as the Probate Registry or by those who needed indexes to enable them to undertake their business such as Messrs Pallot and Co who were record agents
At Family Search today you can also look at pedigrees or family trees constructed by contributors to the site However what did you do if you wanted to look at pedigrees which had already been researched before the convenience of the internet

Nature Origin and Purpose of these Sources
These sources are indexes of pedigrees which have been documented in a variety of places including heraldic visitations county histories biographies local periodicals and guides and a variety of published and unpublished books and pamphlets Many of these documents have been privately published and therefore are of very limited circulation The pedigrees mentioned in texts such as The Genealogistrsquos Guide can be difficult to find as the references can be codified in the abbreviations of the time which are less well known today Whitmores A Genealogical Guide provides some help in this regard but even if you can decipher the references then you may find it difficult to find the original document For example Whitmore includes Descent of My Family (J H Hoare 1903) a privately printed pedigree which I have been unable to find any reference to
The Genealogistrsquos GuideG W Marshall LLD FSA (1903)
George William Marshall LLD FSA (1839ndash1905) was an officer of
arms serving the College of Arms as Rouge Dragon Pursuivant from
1887ndash1904 and as York Herald from 1904ndash1905 Marshall compiled
large collections of wills pedigrees registers church notes and other
genealogical material 32 volumes of which were bequeathed to the
College of Arms under his will
The Genealogistrsquos Guide is limited to an index of pedigrees defined
by Marshall as any descent of three generations in the male line
This very much reflects the patriarchal nature of genealogy at the end
of the 19th century which had arisen out of a need for pedigrees to
prove line of descent and support primogeniture
The Genealogists Guide (Page 408 ndash Hoar or Hoare)
At first glance this is a confusing mixture of publication titles and abbreviations which may have been well known to genealogists in Marshalls day but are less well known today to users of online indexes However once it is transcribed (with the essential assistance of the introduction and abbreviations found in Whitmore ndash next slide) laid out with each reference on a separate line and the abbreviations expanded fully then the citations to pedigrees become easier to understand and therefore to find [see the more information slide for details]
A Genealogical Guide An Index to British PedigreesJ B Whitmore BA FSA FSG (1953)
This index was very much a continuation of Marshalls Genealogistss Guide of 1903
Major John Beach Whitmore BA FSA FSG (1882-1957) was a compiler of a range of genealogical records abstracts and indexes especially monumental inscriptions and London Visitation pedigrees Whitmores outstanding piece of work was A Genealogical Guide which updated Marshalls work to include pedigrees published from 1903 up until between 1945-1948 when Whitmore compiled his Guide
Circumstances prevented Whitmore examining some privately printed family histories the existence of which was known to him from notices in booksellers catalogues and elsewhere these he marked with a double asterisk For example ldquo Descent of My Family (J H Hoare 1903)rdquo
Whitmore also stated that other family histories which he had been unable to examine will be found in A Catalogue of British Family Histories (Theodore Radford Thomson 1928 2nd Ed 1935) which was reprinted in a 3rd edition with Addenda in 1980
A Genealogical Guide (Page 257 ndash Hoar Hoare)
Like The Genealogists Guide the entries in Whitmore like the one above are also a confusing mixture of publication titles and abbreviations Unlike Marshall however Whitmore provides a detailed introduction of nearly thirty pages which clearly lays out what has been included in his work and why It also provides an explanation of the citations used and a list of abbreviations The introduction is also useful when trying to interpret Marshalls work

Where do you find the documents in the Indexes
Many of these old publications being out of copyright can now be found online at a variety of websites For example a fully digitised copy of Some Account of the Early History and Genealogy of the Families of Hore and Hoare is available at the Internet Archive This was particularly interesting for me as the document identified that in the Domesday Book a village (modern day Ower) was known as Hore I am currently a long way from tracing my Hampshire Hoare family back to the village of Hore in 1086 however it is certainly motivating

As well as the Internet Archive many other old publications are available on Google books Lipscombes History of the County of Buckingham for example can be found there and below is shown the pedigree chart for this Hoare family (Page 360)
Where else to look
Many genealogical societies archives and libraries hold collections of documents which include pedigrees My favourite is the library of the Society of Genealogists (SOG) The Society of Genealogists collects printed and published family histories as well as unpublished material in typescript or manuscript form Family histories and pedigrees can be found all over the library and of course online Hence there is no one place to look whether at the Society of Genealogists or on the Internet
The Document Collection contains thousands of unique miscellaneous manuscript research notes arranged by surname These notes (or microfiche or digital copies of the notes) are available in the archive section of the Lower Library where you will find a printed list of all the surnames represented An alphabetical list of the surnames and families in the Document Collection can also be found on the SOG website SOG also has an excellent guide to Surname Searching at the SoG and Elsewhere Whatrsquos Been Done Before available online at their website
Using Printed Pedigrees
You would not just copy someone elses tree from Ancestry or from a Family Search pedigree and equally you should not assume that these pedigrees are automatically correct These pedigrees will however provide you with ample pointers to look for other primary evidence which can help you reliably trace your family history

The Genealogistrsquos GuideG W Marshall LLD FSA (1903)
George William Marshall LLD FSA (1839ndash1905) was an officer of
arms serving the College of Arms as Rouge Dragon Pursuivant from
1887ndash1904 and as York Herald from 1904ndash1905 Marshall compiled
large collections of wills pedigrees registers church notes and other
genealogical material 32 volumes of which were bequeathed to the
College of Arms under his will
The Genealogistrsquos Guide is limited to an index of pedigrees defined
by Marshall as any descent of three generations in the male line
This very much reflects the patriarchal nature of genealogy at the end
of the 19th century which had arisen out of a need for pedigrees to
prove line of descent and support primogeniture
The Genealogists Guide (Page 408 ndash Hoar or Hoare)
At first glance this is a confusing mixture of publication titles and abbreviations which may have been well known to genealogists in Marshalls day but are less well known today to users of online indexes However once it is transcribed (with the essential assistance of the introduction and abbreviations found in Whitmore ndash next slide) laid out with each reference on a separate line and the abbreviations expanded fully then the citations to pedigrees become easier to understand and therefore to find [see the more information slide for details]
A Genealogical Guide An Index to British PedigreesJ B Whitmore BA FSA FSG (1953)
This index was very much a continuation of Marshalls Genealogistss Guide of 1903
Major John Beach Whitmore BA FSA FSG (1882-1957) was a compiler of a range of genealogical records abstracts and indexes especially monumental inscriptions and London Visitation pedigrees Whitmores outstanding piece of work was A Genealogical Guide which updated Marshalls work to include pedigrees published from 1903 up until between 1945-1948 when Whitmore compiled his Guide
Circumstances prevented Whitmore examining some privately printed family histories the existence of which was known to him from notices in booksellers catalogues and elsewhere these he marked with a double asterisk For example ldquo Descent of My Family (J H Hoare 1903)rdquo
Whitmore also stated that other family histories which he had been unable to examine will be found in A Catalogue of British Family Histories (Theodore Radford Thomson 1928 2nd Ed 1935) which was reprinted in a 3rd edition with Addenda in 1980
A Genealogical Guide (Page 257 ndash Hoar Hoare)
Like The Genealogists Guide the entries in Whitmore like the one above are also a confusing mixture of publication titles and abbreviations Unlike Marshall however Whitmore provides a detailed introduction of nearly thirty pages which clearly lays out what has been included in his work and why It also provides an explanation of the citations used and a list of abbreviations The introduction is also useful when trying to interpret Marshalls work

Where do you find the documents in the Indexes
Many of these old publications being out of copyright can now be found online at a variety of websites For example a fully digitised copy of Some Account of the Early History and Genealogy of the Families of Hore and Hoare is available at the Internet Archive This was particularly interesting for me as the document identified that in the Domesday Book a village (modern day Ower) was known as Hore I am currently a long way from tracing my Hampshire Hoare family back to the village of Hore in 1086 however it is certainly motivating

Where do you find the documents in the Indexes
As well as the Internet Archive many other old publications are available on Google books Lipscombes History of the County of Buckingham for example can be found there and below is shown the pedigree chart for this Hoare family (Page 360)
Where else to look
Many genealogical societies archives and libraries hold collections of documents which include pedigrees My favourite is the library of the Society of Genealogists (SOG) The Society of Genealogists collects printed and published family histories as well as unpublished material in typescript or manuscript form Family histories and pedigrees can be found all over the library and of course online Hence there is no one place to look whether at the Society of Genealogists or on the Internet
The Document Collection contains thousands of unique miscellaneous manuscript research notes arranged by surname These notes (or microfiche or digital copies of the notes) are available in the archive section of the Lower Library where you will find a printed list of all the surnames represented An alphabetical list of the surnames and families in the Document Collection can also be found on the SOG website SOG also has an excellent guide to Surname Searching at the SoG and Elsewhere Whatrsquos Been Done Before available online at their website
Using Printed Pedigrees
You would not just copy someone elses tree from Ancestry or from a Family Search pedigree and equally you should not assume that these pedigrees are automatically correct These pedigrees will however provide you with ample pointers to look for other primary evidence which can help you reliably trace your family history

Many genealogical societies archives and libraries hold collections of documents which include pedigrees My favourite is the library of the Society of Genealogists (SOG) The Society of Genealogists collects printed and published family histories as well as unpublished material in typescript or manuscript form Family histories and pedigrees can be found all over the library and of course online Hence there is no one place to look whether at the Society of Genealogists or on the Internet
The Document Collection contains thousands of unique miscellaneous manuscript research notes arranged by surname These notes (or microfiche or digital copies of the notes) are available in the archive section of the Lower Library where you will find a printed list of all the surnames represented An alphabetical list of the surnames and families in the Document Collection can also be found on the SOG website SOG also has an excellent guide to Surname Searching at the SoG and Elsewhere Whatrsquos Been Done Before available online at their website
Using Printed Pedigrees
You would not just copy someone elses tree from Ancestry or from a Family Search pedigree and equally you should not assume that these pedigrees are automatically correct These pedigrees will however provide you with ample pointers to look for other primary evidence which can help you reliably trace your family history

Where do you find the documents in the Indexes
Many of these old publications being out of copyright can now be found online at a variety of websites For example a fully digitised copy of Some Account of the Early History and Genealogy of the Families of Hore and Hoare is available at the Internet Archive This was particularly interesting for me as the document identified that in the Domesday Book a village (modern day Ower) was known as Hore I am currently a long way from tracing my Hampshire Hoare family back to the village of Hore in 1086 however it is certainly motivating
