Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families

Magna Carta Ancestry (edited by Kimball G Everingham) is one of Douglas Richardson's "Royal Ancestry series". The first (2005) edition should not be used. The second (2011) edition substantially updates and expands what was in the first edition: the Magna Carta Project considers it reliable for pre-1700 profiles, but, like everyone, Richardson makes some errors, and sometimes information has been overtaken by subsequent research.

The second edition of Magna Carta Ancestry has four volumes (I, II, III, IV) and is divided into chapters (family name or lordship) with numbered entries. Many pages are viewable and searchable on Google Books.

In 2013 Richardson published a 5-volume set of books called Royal Ancestry: this incorporates some slightly more recent research, but has a somewhat different coverage and organisation.
