The bible is NAM Rodger's "Naval Records for Genealogist", Public Record Office Handbook no 22, 1998, ISBN 1 873162 58 8. There was a previous edition in 1988.
A very useful book too is "A guide to the Naval Records in the National Archives of the UK" by Randolph Cock and NAM Rodger (him again!), Institute of Historical Research, TNA, 2006, ISBN 978 1 905165 16 2.
Bruno Pappalardo's "Tracing your naval ancestors", Public Record Office, 2003, ISBN 1 903367 37 6, is a good introduction for a start at TNA.
Their website is at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/.
It takes a long time to understand the navigation but it's a mine of information.
A tip: bookmark the pages you are interested in (not like me) so you have not to find "where did I found that b... page". |
