Foundation for Medieval Genealogy
Online Library Catalogue and Reference Database
Our aim is to provide a comprehensive bibliographic dataset of secondary source material for medieval genealogy and related studies. The catalogue includes books and journal articles that are held in the library collection of the FMG. Copies of articles and short sections of some books can be supplied, to FMG members only, subject to accessibility of the source and receipt of payment. Contact us before paying.
We welcome comments, suggestions and corrections. Use the contact link on the front page of the search screen.
Search tips:

  • Unless you have specific information such as title, author, etc, it is best to use the "Search all fields" option, which scans all of the searchable data. 

  • It is also worth trying spelling variants, especially for names and foreign language terms, and using truncated forms (eg "Byzan" will find "byzantine," "Byzantinische," "Byzantium" and "Byzanz").

  • Please note that your search term will not necessarily display on screen for all of your retrievals, as there are underlying keyword fields to assist in searches.

About the database

The system uses software provided by Jaywill Software Development Inc. (© 2009). The master records are held in the FMG offices in a database program called
ResourceMate®3.0, and a copy of the data is searchable on our website through Jaywill's Websearch utility.

The new system contains all the material from our old database as well as many hundreds of new records. We are still adding to it.
