Journal of Family History
The Journal of Family History is a peer-reviewed academic journal. Not often do family historians consult such resources, tending to favour direct data sources (such as vital records or census records), or family-held accounts of their own specific history. Often, however, family-held accounts are sparse and if one is not to leave the account a mere skeleton of genealogical facts, one should turn to social-historical records of the time and place.

The Journal of Comparative Family Studies provides a unique cross-cultural perspective on the study of the family. It promotes the interaction between different cultures and life styles. It provides the latest trends in research. Established since 1970, it contains valuable material for sociologists, anthropologists, family counselors, and social psychologists. The journal is an important source for promoting a better understanding of inter ethnic family interaction that is essential for all multicultural societies. - soci.ucalgary.ca/jcfs/
