Book title of the year

I've been doing a lot of research on family history, and have come across a very useful series of books published by the National Archives. They are designed to help researchers looking for ancestors in particular professions or other groups, so they have titles like "My ancestor was a merchant seaman" or "My ancestor was a Presbyterian".

Among these, you can find "My ancestor was a bastard"! Amazingly, the series also includes "My ancestor was a lawyer". Isn't that duplication?
