Jenny Pearce reviews this month's new data CDs for family historians...

Kelly's Directory: Norfolk, Suffolk & Essex 1929

As useful for tracing your ancestors in these eastern counties as it is for learning more about the character of the area in which they may have lived, this disc combines lists of residents and trades with guides to the towns and villages and a series of contemporary adverts.

Pigot's Directory: London & Provincial Towns 1825

The trade of London and other towns around the country, from Wells to Chester, is explored in this lengthy account from 1825. If your forebears were among those who owned businesses during the period, it may be worth exploring this fully searchable, alphabetical disc.

The Australasian Handbook 1906

If you have ancestors from British New Guinea, Tasmania, Fiji, Australia or New Zealand, this CD includes directories of maps, statistics, entries for towns and other information for states across the countries.
