Leeds - The History of the City and its people. A fascinating book, originally by Ralph Thoresby, (1714). This is the second edition, with copious additions and notes by Dr T.D. Whitaker (1816). The CD Rom version has been produced by Colin Hinson from the original book belonging to yorkshireancestors.com's Family History Library. (It is also available from Colin). The book is in three parts; the first dealing with the people of Leeds and the surrounding areas, including at least 100 pedigrees, some of which are very large. The other two parts deal with Ralph Thoresby's museum, describing coins, books, manuscripts, bibles, etc.
The book on this CD is machine searchable
