This site is definately worth shoving back to the top. I've just had a look at it, inputted two villages in Yorks and they are both there. This has to be another great way of finding out about your ancestors (plus their neighbours). Another bonus - It's FREE Terry

I put on Gamlingay (Cams) on and went to put two Hunts villages on but they had been listed under Cambs. I emailed and got a great reply (very quick) saying that all the villages were under CURRENT boundaries. We might have to bear this in mind when looking for a village. I love the site. Really well done! I can't wait for some peace and quiet to be able to input a heap for Yorkshire! Sonja

Researching:
Rotherham - Watson, Foster, Priest, Millsen. Huntingdonshire - Smith, Carter (Woodhurst, Oldfield)

I've shoved this message back to the top in case anyone has missed it. This site should be on everyones favorites list. It's completely free and has to increase your odds of progressing with your research. Sonja: I've just started inputting Yorkshire as well - maybe we'll bump into each other :-) Good hunting everyone ! Terry

Been there and added villages to it earlier in the year. It only started towards the beginning of this year as far as I know. I sent a couple of e-mails regarding checking what villages are on the site, and their reply basically said that they are working on it. How about if a number of us e-mailed them asking to link it to genes connected (and vice versa) Worth putting back up the list again Paul
