For _Attorneys_ and _Solicitors_ reference should be made to the _Rolls_ and _Catalogues of Attorneys_, also the _Admission Books_ giving dates, names, and residences; the latter extend from 1729 to 1848. These documents can be looked up in the Record Office. Here, also, the papers formerly preserved in the War Office are now kept. This series, which is valuable if particulars connected with the Army are required, dates from 1700, but its Muster Rolls only from 1760. There are army lists and muster rolls to be found in other places also. Sims (who has been referred to previously) enumerates these records, and mentions where they are now kept. Several old _Navy Lists_ can be found in the British Museum, and the Navy Office keeps registers of the officers and men, with date and place of their deaths. The ages of the men are also entered. _Universities_, though their lists of graduates are published, have treasures of information only obtainable at first hand. So, where one or more of these is likely to prove valuable, their records should, if possible, be searched. These are principally the _Books of Admission_ to the different colleges, the university, _Matriculation Books_, and the _Degree Books_. These give details of parentage and many other items. CHAPTER V HOW TO MAKE A FAMILY TREE If the pedigree-hunter is wise, he will have provided himself with _Ancestral Tablets_, by Whitmore, as has been previously suggested. They simplify matters greatly. But he may not have done this, or he may have occasion to jot down his forbears on paper either for his own recollection or for the information of others. Of course, this must often be done, and the following is a simple method to adopt. We will suppose his “tree” begins with a certain John Browne. He might thus note particulars, leaving blanks in the way indicated where information is not forthcoming. The mark [Illustration: stick figure with crossed arms] signifies that all the children are not noted in his pedigree. Sometimes an actual _tree_ is drawn, with various branches emanating from a parent stem. This is an interesting method, the effect being clear, but the amateur might find its execution somewhat difficult.
