BOOK REVIEWS

Second Stages in Researching Welsh Ancestry. Edited by John & Sheila Rowlands. Published by The Federation of Family History Societies (Publications) Ltd. 1999. ISBN 1 86006 066 8

John & Sheila Rowlands published Welsh Family History, a Guide to Research in 1991 ; it dealt with

specialist aspects relating to Welsh research. Second Stages is a more advanced collection of essays based on talks delivered in courses on Family History run by the University of Wales at Aberystwyth, since 1986. The essays cover five main themes:

Religion and Society Industry and Occupations

Documents and Specialist Studies People and Places The Welsh at Home and in the Professions

The final part of the book contains three case studies by students on the courses and was included to

encourage others to set down on paper the products of their research. So with the exception of the last three chapters, the book is largely a collection of talks, which were given over a number of years.

The book as a whole contains a wealth of information for anyone researching his or her Welsh

ancestry. Most chapters contain their attendant maps, appendices and all have bibliographies. The

chapter on reading old documents is particularly interesting, with examples of Secretary Hand and the

equivalent letters in capital and lower case form. For those who are unable to visit Wales, the essays paint an excellent picture of everyday life in 19th

century Wales, while the case studies show that a bare list of names can come to life! Hilary Maginnis B0458

Carryduff 2000 by George A Bowsie and Graham Murphy. ?3 plus postage (A4 size, 90 pages) Interview with Colin McCallum (Member B1217) who took the modem-day photographs for "Carryduff

2000".

No?lle: How did you become involved in the Carryduff HJg^ project? J.:/. Colin: George Bowsie is a friend. He has lived in

Carryduff since the 1940s and is a member of the Carryduff Historical Society. He was asked to write about Carryduff for their millennium celebrations and I agreed to help with the photographs.

Noeile: How long did it take to put the book together? Colin: Overall we spent 18 months on it. No?lle: I see there are lots of photographs in the

book. Where did the older photographs come from and how did you decide on the modern illustrations?

Colin: We used so many different sources for the old illustrations and George asked me to take some photographs of the important landmarks that were missing.

No?lle: What area is covered by the book? Colin: As well as Carryduff, surrounding districts such as Ballymagarrick, Drumalig and Killynure

are included. There is a great deal of social history with stories about some of the characters in the area. Also included are poems, histories of the local churches and accounts of

Carryduff in wartime.

No?lle: For whom do you think this book would have an appeal? Colin: It would appeal to anyone who knows Carryduff, but it is also full of interest for anyone who

wants some idea of Northern Ireland village life past and present.

Copies maybe ordered from George Bowsie, 44 Hillsborough Rd., Carryduff, Belfast, BT8 8HS
