The second half of the 20th century witnessed a transformation of attitudes
to sex and sexuality.
Very few people today would be worried aboutadmitting that they or one of their relatives were illegitimate.
Matters were very different for our ancestors.
For them illegitimacy was a shameful thing, to be hidden from public knowledge.
The web of deceit they spun to ensure their secrets stayed secret means that tracing the truth aboutillegitimate ancestors is one of the hardest tasks that a family historiancan undertake.
This book is designed to help you uncover the information your ancestors did not want you to know.
It provides an introduction to the world of the unmarried mother and her child and discusses how best to formulate a search strategy.
It then goes on to describe the available sources: where to find them, how to use them and what information they contain.
For those who want to learn more it includes a list of books for further
reading, a directory of useful websites and a glossary of some of the weird and wonderful synonyms for bastardy that you are likely to encounter in the course of your research.
Finally there is a step by step guide that will
help you draw up a research plan tailored to your own needs.
