The Visitation Of Worcestershire 1569

By: Unknown

A living map of Tudor Worcestershire: names, arms and pedigrees recorded with heraldic precision. Essential for family history researchers. This edition presents the 1569 visitation of Worcestershire, the heralds' survey that documented the nobility and gentry lineage of a county on the cusp of Elizabethan England. Part scholarly ledger, part living register, it functions as a genealogical reference book and an English heraldry records source: detailed entries of historical family pedigrees sit beside a coats of arms collection that still guides British ancestry research. Casual readers will be drawn by the human texture of local names and connections; professional genealogists and academic historical studies specialists will value the page-by-page evidence for Tudor England genealogy and the systematic method of the visitations of counties. Organised as a ledger of surnames and arms, the entries invite comparison with parish registers and legal papers, and for many households the visitation remains the earliest systematic account of descent recorded in 16th century Worcestershire. Long recognised by historians as a primary source for Elizabethan England records, these pages illuminate social rank, marriage strategies and the transmission of arms - essentials for tracing descent and for contextual study. Valuable for cross-referencing sources. Republished with care by Alpha Editions, this volume respects the original register while offering clarity and usability for modern readers. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Whether you are a casual reader curious about local Tudor lives, a family history researcher tracing a single branch, a student working on nobility and gentry lineage, or a classic-literature collector seeking a heritage title, this edition brings the visitations into reach: a compact, authoritative British ancestry resource that belongs on both reference shelves and in private collections.
