"How to Trace a Pedigree" by Helen Augusta Crofton is a genealogical guidebook written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a practical manual for amateur genealogists seeking to uncover their family histories by outlining the processes and resources necessary for tracing genealogical lines in the British Isles. Its concise and structured approach makes it ideal for beginners facing the complexities of pedigree research. In this book, Crofton provides a step-by-step guide to genealogical research, starting from the initial known facts about an individual's ancestry and progressing through various primary and secondary sources, such as wills, parish registers, and other historical documents.
