The following is a selection of books that may interest family history
readers. Some are specifically about Banburyshire people and places; and some help to understand the way of life in times past that add flesh and colour to the skeleton of names and dates.
All contributions are welcome and can be sent to me, Rosemary Probert, Banburyshire webmaster.
If you have any photographs that can also be used to go with your review, please send them as well. Submissions may be edited at our discretion!
