| Royston | Maureen has drawn my attention to the Royston Family History Society web site. The society has published a range of index booklets covering burials and memorial inscriptions for Royston and surrounding villages - and also births, marriages and deaths from the Royston Crow between 1876 and 1910. The publications are available directly from the society or from The Parish Chest - a web site which sells the publications of a lot of family history societies - but currently only Royston in Hertfordshire. | |||
| Dear Lord Rothschild | A very extensive biography of Walter Rothschild - who all with active political interests, established the Natural History Museum at Tring. | |||
| The journal of Benjamin Woodcock | This book is due to be published later this year and a pre-publication summary has been added. | |||
| Hertfordshire Publications | Publication list updated to include all publications (including those out of print) described on this site - and also links to recent/forthcoming publications I haven't yet seen. | |||
| Dacorum within living memory |

| I do not provide a book finding service, but when I update a book page I currently run a quick search and add a note if I find a copy advertised for sale online. This is for guidance only. The absence of such a note does not mean that the book is not available. The presence of such a note does not guarantee a copy. |
