Hi I have been using the Forest of Dean site for about a year now and have found everyone one on it to be very helpful and have managed to demolish quite a few brick walls using it. My ancestors are from around the Ruardean area The parish record transcriptions is a relatively new thing but is ongoing so there will be more added all the time. Jenny x
