Journal of Family History
Articles Sorted according to Geography

The Journal of Family History is a peer-reviewed academic journal. Not often do family historians consult such resources, tending to favour direct data sources (such as vital records or census records), or family-held accounts of their own specific history. Often, however, family-held accounts are sparse and if one is not to leave the account a mere skeleton of genealogical facts, one should turn to social-historical records of the time and place.

This is where the Journal of Family History comes in. The articles within the issue covers may be very specialized (e.g., "The Adolescent Apprentice/Worker in Medieval Montpellier") or quite broad (e.g., "Kinship and the Neighborhood in Nineteenth-Century Rural England:The Myth of the Autonomous Nuclear Family"). We do hope that most visitors to this site will find something of interest to them.

The journal is available in many academic libraries and we have confirmed that it is available in both University of Alberta and University of Calgary.
