A useful introduction for newcomers to medieval genealogy, as part of the archives.com website. The author emphasises the very different approaches required for the medieval period compared with more recent (post 1600) research, with different primary sources, linguistic and paleographical challenges, and the dangers of relying on secondary or unverified sources.

One of the useful Research Guides published by the UK National Archives, this article provides a good entry to the challenges of medieval research, where and how to look.

GEN-MEDIEVAL and soc.genealogy.medieval (often abbreviated to SGM) are companion groups dedicated to the discussion of medieval genealogy. GEN-MEDIEVAL is an open and unmoderated mailing list, while soc.genealogy.medieval is an unmoderated USENET newsgroup. A gateway between the mailing list and newsgroup ensures that all posts appear in both. Participants cover the broad range of hobbyist and professionals, beginners and veterans, and all relevant posts are welcome.

PASE is a database which aims to cover all of the recorded inhabitants of England from the late sixth to the end of the eleventh century. It is based on a systematic examination of the available written sources for the period, including chronicles, saints’ Lives, charters, libri vitae, inscriptions, and coins.

The Prosopography of the Byzantine Empire aims to record all surviving information about every individual mentioned in Byzantine textual sources, together with as many as possible of the individuals recorded in seal sources, in the period 642-1261. This is a large and complex database. The total number of persons included (made imprecise by frequent expressions of doubt), is just above 10,000. Because of the ways in which elements combine and recombine, it is not possible to compare the size of the database directly with a regular book. However it would be impossible to compress this material into less than about 1400 pages, of which around 10% would be in Greek, a significant element in Latin and a small fraction (so far) in Arabic. [For a commentary see Genealogists' Magazine (2007) 29:150]

The Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies aims to further study and knowledge of the history and culture, language and literature of the Byzantine Empire and its neighbours.
