Who When Where

Great to find this great site. Well done to all those responsible.
I know I'm probably preaching to the converted but don't forget all of the fantastic free resources out there on the web.
Sites such as Freebmd, FreeReg, FreeCen, and of course the often neglected familysearch site. All great sites to access information, and for free. I'm sure there are many more as well.
And yes, as mentioned elsewhere, Google can be a great tool in itself. I have made many discoveries just by googling a nama and place.

I'd like to recommend www.dustydocs.com which has links to just about every family history resource available across the British Isles.

I’d second that, I’ve found a great deal of interesting stuff that way. In some cases a link has gone straight to FS images rather than the ordinary search.

Not forgetting the OPC projects (Online Parish Chest). E.g. www.lan-opc.org.uk, who are slowly working through the Parish Registers within Lancashire, transcribing and publishing the results on-line. Great effort, which deserves our full appreciation-thanks guys

I have Isleworth ancestors and this site has been a very helpful resource

I was recommended by a friend to try the search engine Duckduckgo. Out of interest, I typed in my great aunt’s details. Up came a parish local history group. The group had transcribed all the parish records and added some additional research that members had done.The parish was where my grandparents were married. But they lived in London some 75 miles away from the parish. However, what had never occurred to me was that my mother and her brother were both baptised in that parish. My grandmother had gone back to stay with her sister who lived nearby whilst my grandfather was serving in the military. I’ve also found other useful information on Duckduckgo.
