A Practical Introduction to Medieval Genealogy



This important addition to our catalogue supports family historians who have traced their lineage to the limits of parish registers and now seek to navigate the medieval archive. 
Written for readers fluent in modern genealogical method yet unfamiliar with medieval frameworks, the book offers clear orientation and practical insight. It invites researchers to approach medieval evidence with confidence, curiosity, and critical awareness.

For anyone seeking to bridge the gap between historical curiosity and academic rigour, Noble provides a practical roadmap to medieval genealogy, empowering readers to make informed assessments while appreciating the subtleties of probability, evidence, and interpretation.
Recommended for collections in genealogy, medieval studies, archival pedagogy, and historical method.
Malcolm Noble’s work has been published by the Society of Genealogists and the Register of Qualified Genealogists. He has written local history of Nottinghamshire and Cambridgeshire, and has hosted the Talk Genealogy podcast for twelve years.
