Hi A while back I found a brilliant website Whitlock Family Association. and they had loads of different files to open, I opened up one of them to find my great great great grandfather and all of his children and their children. So I sent them an email and today they directed me to another file that dates back to 1640. there must be about 1000 names on there. I have emailed them again to find out can I use this information and add them to my tree. so far all the information I have found is correct. Do you think I should. the thought of having all those names added to my tree makes my knees go all wobbly. Please help Debbie

Sounds fantastic Debra - you'll have all those names, dates and places and know exactly what parish registers you have to check to confirm all the details. You'll still have plenty of work to do if you do that. Christine
