A living ledger of civic life in York across two centuries. Records that speak to us. Drawn from the City Record, Register of the Freemen of the City of York (Volume II) 1559-1759 is an English freemen register that preserves the names, admission particulars and municipal annotations recorded in the city rolls. As one of the indispensable York city historical records, it acts as a parish records alternative for researchers tracing local family ancestry and fills a gap on the shelf of any British genealogy reference. The concise civic membership lists reveal more than names: they map community connections, municipal practice and patterns of movement across the 16th to 18th century, making the volume valuable both to casual readers curious about ancestral roots and to rigorous researchers and historians assembling a genealogy resource collection. Plainly presented and easy to consult, the register brings archival material within reach of local history readers without sacrificing the documentary clarity specialists demand. Historically significant, this volume anchors studies of early modern England history and British local history by supplying primary evidence drawn from York England archives; its material complements parish registers and other municipal series. Careful transcription makes cross-referencing with wills, guild rolls and civic returns straightforward, aiding those who pursue local family ancestry beyond the parish. For family historians the register often provides the missing link between household memory and formal records; for social historians it offers a running account of civic membership lists over two centuries. Accessible enough for a reader flicking through names, yet rich enough for intensive scholarship, it appeals to casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike - those who prize provenance, tactile heritage and the narrative traces of ordinary lives. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
