The following was received from the Society of Genealogists in London: September's book of the month is My Ancestor was a Mormon, by Ian Waller.
Most of the early Latter-day Saint pioneers who emigrated to the USA were of British origin, while many converts never actually left the British Isles. This meant the church always had a strong base within the UK and Ian Waller's book aims to guide researchers in finding Latter-day Saint ancestors who originated in the UK and Europe. As well as providing an overview of the history and growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the book contains a comprehensive guide to Latter-day Saint records in both Britain and The United States. If you have Latter-day Saint ancestors, or are just interested in the origins of the Church of Jesus Christ, then this book is a very useful addition to your genealogy bookshelf. The author is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Fellow of the Society of Genealogists.
Throughout September, My Ancestor was a Mormon is available from the SoG bookshop at £7.19 to members of the Society, and £7.99 to non-members. Offer ends 30 September 2012.
