<br />
Personal Ancestral File (PAF) is a genealogy program which can be downloaded free of charge from the LDS (Latter Day Saints) website:<br />
<br />
*[http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp familysearch.org]<br />
<br />
The current version is PAF5.<br />
<br />
The program is fairly simple to use, but here are some instructions which should help to answer some of the most frequent questions. <br />
<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
=='''How to create a family tree by importing a GEDCOM file'''== <br />
<br />
A GEDCOM is a file format used to exchange family tree information. It's compatible with all family tree programs.<br />
You can recognise a GEDCOM by the file extension (the part after the full stop); the file will be called something like ''tree.ged''.<br />
<br />
1. Open PAF.<br />
<br />
2. In the menu at the top of the page, click on '''File - New'''.<br />
Enter a file name (make sure it isn't a name that you're already using for another tree), and choose where you want to save it on your computer. <br />
<br />
3. Click on '''File - Import'''.<br />
Choose the GEDCOM file you want to use to create your family tree.<br />
Remember to tick the '''Import Notes''' box.<br />
The program will automatically import and display the file.<br />
<br />
=='''How to change the Home Person'''==<br />
<br />
The "home person" is the person that the tree should start with (normally you).<br />
Sometimes, when you import your tree from other programs, the home person gets changed to the wrong one. Then, when you export your tree to some sites (such as Genes Reunited), you'll find that it starts with the wrong person. Here's how to change it.<br />
<br />
Go to the '''Tools''' menu and click on '''Preferences'''.<br />
Then click on the '''File''' tab. <br />
Where it says "''RIN of home person on file open''" click on '''Search''', then click on '''Individual List'''. This lists all the people in your tree. Click on the name of the person you want your tree to start with, and hit '''OK'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Home_Person1.jpg|centre|]]<br />
<br />
<br />
To check that you've done it right, click on the big red arrow in the row of icons at the top of the page. This takes you immediately to the Home Person you've chosen.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Home_Person2.jpg|centre|]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to create charts'''== <br />
<br />
Click on '''File - Print Report'''. <br />
<br />
''A. To create a pedigree chart (showing somebody's ancestors)''<br />
<br />
1. Click on the '''Pedigree''' tab.<br />
<br />
2. Where it says ''Starting person'' click on '''Search''', then '''Individual List''', and choose the person you want to start with.<br />
<br />
3a. If you want to print the chart without saving it, click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
3b. If you want to create a file containing the chart, tick '''Print to File''', then click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
''B. To create a descendant chart (showing somebody's descendants)''<br />
<br />
1. Click on the '''Descendants''' tab.<br />
<br />
Follow steps 2 and 3 above. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Chart_pedigree.jpg|centre|]] <br />
<br />
<br />
The Reports and Charts screen contains a number of options that you can experiment with.<br />
<br />
The Charts produced by the free PAF program aren't very pretty, and the program offers very few chart printing options compared with other family tree programs. However, the familysearch site offers a free basic PAF companion for printing charts, and a more complete Companion is available on payment:<br />
*[http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Home/Welcome/pafDownload.asp PAF Companion]<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to create lists'''==<br />
<br />
Lists can be very useful when you go to the Record Office or LDS centre to look at parish registers. <br />
<br />
1. Click on '''File - Print Report'''. <br />
<br />
2. Click on the '''Lists''' tab.<br />
<br />
3. Click on '''Places sorted alphabetically'''<br />
<br />
4. Click on '''Page Setup''' and choose '''Landscape''' view (for some reason it won't work in Portrait view)<br />
<br />
5. Tick '''Print to file'''<br />
<br />
6. Click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
7. The '''Save as...''' dialogue box comes up. You'll be asked for a filename - I usually call this Place_report or something of the kind. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:List_places.jpg|centre|]]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''N.B.''':The program automatically shows the filename as *.rtf. You can change the * to any name you like, but if you delete *.rtf and input a filename without adding .rtf to the end, it won't be accepted.<br />
<br />
You now have all the events on your tree listed in place order. The file will have opened automatically in Word. <br />
<br />
<br />
''To create separate files for each place you're interested in:''<br />
<br />
8. Press''' F12''' (Save as) and give the file a new name, e.g. Leicester.rtf (PAF always uses the rtf format for reports and lists).<br />
<br />
9. Delete all the events in places you're not interested in, just leaving the ones that occurred in Leicester (or wherever).<br />
<br />
10. Sort them into births/baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials.<br />
<br />
11. If you're familiar with Word, you can convert these lists into tables using '''Tables - Convert Text to Table.'''<br />
<br />
12. You can then print out your lists of births/baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials to take with you to the Records Office/LDS centre.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to create reports'''==<br />
<br />
These are the basic instructions for creating a report (also known as a "book"). Once you've mastered the basic idea, you can then play around with the various options offered by the program.<br />
<br />
''A. To create a report in Ahnentafel form (showing a person's ancestors)''<br />
<br />
1. Click on '''File - Print Reports''' <br />
<br />
2. Click on the '''Books''' tab<br />
<br />
3. Where it says ''Type of book'' click on '''Ahnentafel'''<br />
<br />
4. Where it says ''Starting person'' click on '''Search''', then '''Individual List''', and choose the person you want to start with.<br />
<br />
5. Tick '''Print to file'''<br />
<br />
6. Click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Book_report.jpg|centre|]] <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''B. To create a book (report) in Modified Register form (showing a person's descendants)''<br />
<br />
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.<br />
<br />
3. Where it says ''Type of book'' click on '''Modified Register'''<br />
<br />
Follow steps 4 to 6 above.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to export part of your tree as a GEDCOM'''==<br />
<br />
If you want to share your tree with a contact, you probably won't want (or need) to give them the whole of your tree. Here's how to export just part of it in GEDCOM format.<br />
<br />
1. Click on '''File - Export.'''<br />
<br />
2. Where it says ''Filter'' choose '''Partial''' instead of '''All'''.<br />
<br />
3. Click on '''Select''' and the ''Select individuals'' dialogue box will open, showing all the people in your tree. Choose the person you want to start with from the list of names.<br />
<br />
4. Where it says ''Relationship filter,'' select one of the filters offered.<br />
<br />
''5. To include all the descendants of the starting person''<br />
<br />
6. Select the filter '''Descendants''', and click on '''Select'''. <br />
<br />
7. The program will ask how many generations of descendants you want to include, and whether you want to include the starting person's spouse. When you've selected those options, hit '''OK'''. <br />
<br />
The number of the starting person's descendants in the tree will appear below the relationship filter (it'll say something like "Selected: 15"), and a » sign will appear alongside each descendant's name in the list of individuals.<br />
<br />
'''Important''': If you've already exported your full tree or a different person's descendants or ancestors in the same session, you must click on '''Clear''' below the ''Relationship filte''r before doing another export, otherwise it'll keep repeating your first export. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Export_partial.jpg|centre|]] <br />
<br />
<br />
There are several relationship filters which offer different options. For example, ''Descendants'' exports an individual and his or her descendants, whereas ''All descendant related'' exports an individual and his or her descendants plus the descendants' siblings, parents, children, spouses, and each of those individuals' ancestors.<br />
<br />
For an explanation of what the various filters do, click on '''Help''' at the bottom right-hand side of the ''Find Individual'' dialogue box. Then, on the right-hand side of the page, under ''Concepts'', click on '''Choosing a relationship filter.'''<br />
<br />
8. Hit '''OK''', then click on '''Export''' and choose a name for the file that's different from the one you use for your full GEDCOM.<br />
<br />

6. Click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
7. The '''Save as...''' dialogue box comes up. You'll be asked for a filename - I usually call this Place_report or something of the kind. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:List_places.jpg|centre|]]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''N.B.''':The program automatically shows the filename as *.rtf. You can change the * to any name you like, but if you delete *.rtf and input a filename without adding .rtf to the end, it won't be accepted.<br />
<br />
You now have all the events on your tree listed in place order. The file will have opened automatically in Word. <br />
<br />
<br />
''To create separate files for each place you're interested in:''<br />
<br />
8. Press''' F12''' (Save as) and give the file a new name, e.g. Leicester.rtf (PAF always uses the rtf format for reports and lists).<br />
<br />
9. Delete all the events in places you're not interested in, just leaving the ones that occurred in Leicester (or wherever).<br />
<br />
10. Sort them into births/baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials.<br />
<br />
11. If you're familiar with Word, you can convert these lists into tables using '''Tables - Convert Text to Table.'''<br />
<br />
12. You can then print out your lists of births/baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials to take with you to the Records Office/LDS centre.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to create reports'''==<br />
<br />
These are the basic instructions for creating a report (also known as a "book"). Once you've mastered the basic idea, you can then play around with the various options offered by the program.<br />
<br />
''A. To create a report in Ahnentafel form (showing a person's ancestors)''<br />
<br />
1. Click on '''File - Print Reports''' <br />
<br />
2. Click on the '''Books''' tab<br />
<br />
3. Where it says ''Type of book'' click on '''Ahnentafel'''<br />
<br />
4. Where it says ''Starting person'' click on '''Search''', then '''Individual List''', and choose the person you want to start with.<br />
<br />
5. Tick '''Print to file'''<br />
<br />
6. Click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Book_report.jpg|centre|]] <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
''B. To create a book (report) in Modified Register form (showing a person's descendants)''<br />
<br />
Follow steps 1 and 2 above.<br />
<br />
3. Where it says ''Type of book'' click on '''Modified Register'''<br />
<br />
Follow steps 4 to 6 above.<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to export part of your tree as a gedcom'''==<br />
<br />
If you want to share your tree with a contact, you probably won't want (or need) to give them the whole of your tree. Here's how to export just part of it in Gedcom format.<br />
<br />
1. Click on '''File - Export.'''<br />
<br />
2. Where it says ''Filter'' choose '''Partial''' instead of '''All'''.<br />
<br />
3. Click on '''Select''' and the ''Select individuals'' dialogue box will open, showing all the people in your tree. Choose the person you want to start with from the list of names.<br />
<br />
4. Where it says ''Relationship filter,'' select one of the filters offered.<br />
<br />
''5. To include all the descendants of the starting person''<br />
<br />
6. Select the filter '''Descendants''', and click on '''Select'''. <br />
<br />
7. The program will ask how many generations of descendants you want to include, and whether you want to include the starting person's spouse. When you've selected those options, hit '''OK'''. <br />
<br />
The number of the starting person's descendants in the tree will appear below the relationship filter (it'll say something like "Selected: 15"), and a » sign will appear alongside each descendant's name in the list of individuals.<br />
<br />
'''Important''': If you've already exported your full tree or a different person's descendants or ancestors in the same session, you must click on '''Clear''' below the ''Relationship filte''r before doing another export, otherwise it'll keep repeating your first export. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Export_partial.jpg|centre|]] <br />
<br />
<br />
There are several relationship filters which offer different options. For example, ''Descendants'' exports an individual and his or her descendants, whereas ''All descendant related'' exports an individual and his or her descendants plus the descendants' siblings, parents, children, spouses, and each of those individuals' ancestors.<br />
<br />
For an explanation of what the various filters do, click on '''Help''' at the bottom right-hand side of the ''Find Individual'' dialogue box. Then, on the right-hand side of the page, under ''Concepts'', click on '''Choosing a relationship filter.'''<br />
<br />
8. Hit '''OK''', then click on '''Export''' and choose a name for the file that's different from the one you use for your full gedcom.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Adopted Pages]]<br />
<br />
Personal Ancestral File (PAF) is a genealogy program which can be downloaded free of charge from the LDS (Latter Day Saints) website:<br />
<br />
*[http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp familysearch.org]<br />
<br />
The current version is PAF5.<br />
<br />
The program is fairly simple to use, but here are some instructions which should help to answer some of the most frequent questions. <br />
<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
=='''How to create a family tree by importing a GEDCOM file'''== <br />
<br />
A gedcom is a file format used to exchange family tree information. It's compatible with all family tree programs.<br />
You can recognise a gedcom by the file extension (the part after the full stop); the file will be called something like ''tree.ged''.<br />
<br />
1. Open PAF.<br />
<br />
2. In the menu at the top of the page, click on '''File - New'''.<br />
Enter a file name (make sure it isn't a name that you're already using for another tree), and choose where you want to save it on your computer. <br />
<br />
3. Click on '''File - Import'''.<br />
Choose the gedcom file you want to use to create your family tree.<br />
Remember to tick the '''Import Notes''' box.<br />
The program will automatically import and display the file.<br />
<br />
=='''How to change the Home Person'''==<br />
<br />
The "home person" is the person that the tree should start with (normally you).<br />
Sometimes, when you import your tree from other programs, the home person gets changed to the wrong one. Then, when you export your tree to some sites (such as Genes Reunited), you'll find that it starts with the wrong person. Here's how to change it.<br />
<br />
Go to the '''Tools''' menu and click on '''Preferences'''.<br />
Then click on the '''File''' tab. <br />
Where it says "''RIN of home person on file open''" click on '''Search''', then click on '''Individual List'''. This lists all the people in your tree. Click on the name of the person you want your tree to start with, and hit '''OK'''.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Home_Person1.jpg|centre|]]<br />
<br />
<br />
To check that you've done it right, click on the big red arrow in the row of icons at the top of the page. This takes you immediately to the Home Person you've chosen.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Home_Person2.jpg|centre|]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to create charts'''== <br />
<br />
Click on '''File - Print Report'''. <br />
<br />
''A. To create a pedigree chart (showing somebody's ancestors)''<br />
<br />
1. Click on the '''Pedigree''' tab.<br />
<br />
2. Where it says ''Starting person'' click on '''Search''', then '''Individual List''', and choose the person you want to start with.<br />
<br />
3a. If you want to print the chart without saving it, click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
3b. If you want to create a file containing the chart, tick '''Print to File''', then click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
''B. To create a descendant chart (showing somebody's descendants)''<br />
<br />
1. Click on the '''Descendants''' tab.<br />
<br />
Follow steps 2 and 3 above. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:Chart_pedigree.jpg|centre|]] <br />
<br />
<br />
The Reports and Charts screen contains a number of options that you can experiment with.<br />
<br />
The Charts produced by the free PAF program aren't very pretty, and the program offers very few chart printing options compared with other family tree programs. However, the familysearch site offers a free basic PAF companion for printing charts, and a more complete Companion is available on payment:<br />
*[http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Home/Welcome/pafDownload.asp PAF Companion]<br />
<br />
<br />
=='''How to create lists'''==<br />
<br />
Lists can be very useful when you go to the Record Office or LDS centre to look at parish registers. <br />
<br />
1. Click on '''File - Print Report'''. <br />
<br />
2. Click on the '''Lists''' tab.<br />
<br />
3. Click on '''Places sorted alphabetically'''<br />
<br />
4. Click on '''Page Setup''' and choose '''Landscape''' view (for some reason it won't work in Portrait view)<br />
<br />
5. Tick '''Print to file'''<br />
<br />
6. Click on '''Print'''.<br />
<br />
7. The '''Save as...''' dialogue box comes up. You'll be asked for a filename - I usually call this Place_report or something of the kind. <br />
<br />
<br />
[[Image:List_places.jpg|centre|]]<br />

==Starting Out on Your Research==<br />
===Records===<br />
The '''County Records Office''' is the place where you will find your primary evidence - a myriad of documents which will be useful in your research. These <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/8-Research-Guides '''Research Guides''']</span> will explain what is likely to be found there and how it is going to be useful.<br />
<br />
===Certificates===<br />
To be 99% sure that you are researching the correct people, you are going to have to get Birth, Marriage and/or Death '''Certificates'''. These pages will help you find out about <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/159-Certificates '''Certificates''']</span> and how to go about obtaining them.<br />
<br />
===Census===<br />
Alongside the personal details of your families, one of the most useful sets of documents for you will be the '''Census Returns'''. The <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/97-The-Census '''Census Guide''']</span> will give you more information on using these valuable sources of evidence for your research.<br />
<br />
===Creating your Family Tree===<br />
Before you can start constructing your tree, you need to find the branches and twigs to populate it. <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/58-Getting-Started '''This page''']</span> will give you advice on how to go about it and where to find the information, together with hints and tips on deciding whether they are "yours", using pages from The Reference Library and external links. <br />
<br />
<br />
==[[Online Research]]==<br />
These days, the advent of the Internet and digital resources has enabled family historians to carry out much of their initial research online. The Online Research pages give an outline of the main resources available and "Hints and Tips" based on how some of the members have carried out their own research online.<br />
<br />
===[[World Index Page]]===<br />
The World Index Page is a collection of hundreds of hyperlinks to websites which the members of the Family Tree Forum have found useful. They are categorised by '''Country''' and then by '''County'''. The recommendations range from official County Council websites to small privately run village sites which give you a flavour of the area where your ancestors lived.<br />
<br />
===[[Surname Directory|The Surname Directory]]===<br />
One of the most exciting and enjoyable aids to genealogical research is making contact with others researching the same family as you. The Surname Directory is a selection of the surnames being researched by the members of Family Tree Forum.<br />
<br />
==General Reference==<br />
===General History===<br />
The pages in the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/313-General-History '''General History''' ]</span> section of the Reference Library contain links to many websites which will not only help you place your ancestors in context historically, but may contain links to further your research.<br />
<br />
===The Big Book of Genealogy===<br />
The <span class="plainlinks">[[Big Book | '''Big Book of Genealogy''']]</span> is a collection of the jargon and vocabulary which you may come across in the various sources you will encounter.<br />
<br />
===Maps and Photography===<br />
To enable you to place your ancestors in context geographically, you might like to explore the links in <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/316-Maps '''Maps''']</span> and <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.familytreeforum.com/content.php/320-Photographs '''Photographs''']</span>.

'''British Military Records Through The Ages'''<br />
<br />
When you are searching for Military Service Records there are a few important pieces of information that you need to have. These are:<br />
<br />
*Full name of the individual. If you have as full a name as possible this will make tracking your individual easier. E.g. John Brown. There must be hundreds of John Browns. If you have a middle name it will make things a bit easier. E.g. John W Brown. <br />
*The Service in which he served. Army, Royal Navy or Air Force. <br />
*Rank and Regiment or Naval Ship or Squadron. Having the service number can be particularly helpful. <br />
*Find out when the person served; pre First World War, First World War and after 1920. <br />
*The more details you have the better. Having the dates of enlistment and demobilisation can be helpful as well. <br />

If anyone requests a search of these records then it would be helpful if they back the cause and have a whinge about records being held in Wales rather than at the Arsenal (Heritage Center in Woolwich) and also stress the importance of not destroying records after the 100 year rule which is based from the employees DOB (although it is thought that they have been fairly reasonable on this one and so chances are they may still have the record).<br />

From the famous St Andrews golf course, to romantic castles steeped in history, via whisky distilleries and the famous Loch Ness monster, Scotland is a country of diverse scenery in rugged countryside. It is also known for its famous haggis, the recipe for which varies, but is made using a sheep's stomach bag filled with a mixture of sheep's offal, oatmeal, suet, stock, onions and spices.<br />

== The History of the Canal Network ==<br />
<br />
The canal network started to appear in the 18th century, in the days before the railways the canals were used to carry goods, people and documents around the country. The network continued to expand and linked the major industrial areas of the country together.<br><br />
<br />
As the forerunner to the railways and motorways of recent times, the canals provided employment for many people, the men who built the canals (called ''navvies'', as the canals were referred to as ''navigations'') would often find employment on the canal when construction was complete. Whole families would live and work on canal boats and raise several generations whilst living afloat. Many children were born on the boats so don't be suprised to see a boat name on a birth certificate.<br><br />
<br />
By the 1850's the railways started to take more and more business from the canal companies, the ability to move goods and people far more quickly allowed the railways to expand at the expense of the canal owners. The situation continued until in the 1940's water carrying became nationalised, British Waterways took responsibility for operating boats and set about changing the appearance of boats forever. Gone were the highly decorated boats of yesteryear to be replaced by the blue and yellow livery of BW. The 1970's saw what was in effect the end of canal transport, the canals (now in need of major investment) could not compete with road and rail competitors and commercial water transport had all but stopped.<br><br><br />

Our ancestors (like us) were shaped by the world they lived in and the sudden movement of a family, for example, from their birthplace to another part of the country could be explained by what was happening in the wider world.<br />

It is necessary to register, but whilst there is a charge for high-resolution copies of the films you can view low resolution versions free of charge. Almost all are in black and white, and the very earliest footage is silent.<br />
<br />
The earliest films date from 1896! Pathé display a Top Twenty on their site - the most popular when we checked was a film of the Titanic, but an early favourite of ours is the funeral of Queen Victoria in 1901.<br />

==Evacuation==<br />
<br />
At the start of the Second World War many thousands of children were taken from their homes, schools and parents and evacuated to towns and villages less likely to be affected by the war. The evacuation of children was not obligatory, but thought the sensible thing to do.<br><br><br />
At 11.07am on Thursday 31st August 1939 the order was given to evacuate. Over the next four days a quarter of the British population (nearly 3,000,000 people) were evacuated to the countryside.<br><br />
<br />
There were no big bombing raids on Britain in the first months of the war so by early 1940 many children had returned home. When heavy bombing raids started in the autumn of 1940 Children were once again evacuated.<br />
<br />
By the end of the Second World War around 3.5 million people, (mainly children) had experienced evacuation. Some children were evacuated to other British Dominions (countries that were part of the British Empire) such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa. <br />
<br />
The first to be evacuated were school children - some as young as 3 - and later younger children with their mothers, pregnant ladies and the blind and infirm.<br><br />
<br />
For some it was an adventure; with their gas masks hung around their neck and a small suitcase of belongings and with a name label attached to their coat button it was something that just had to be done. Children were transported to places in groups and allocated to homes to be cared for, for the duration of the war.<br><br />
<br />
For some it was a happy time, but for many quite the opposite. Sibling groups were often split up, and placed in unfamiliar surrounding in often quite rural areas and found life very different to that to which they were used to.<br><br />
<br />
Tired and bewildered, children were taken, usually on a train accompanied by teachers as their travel guardians, to their destination to be picked by their host family whose home became their 'billet'. <br><br />
<br />
People memories of being evacuated vary greatly - for some it was a happy time, full of adventure in the countryside and time spent with people who came to love them. For others it was a time of great sadness- not all host homes were the perfect host, and some remember ill treatment and sometimes even cruelty.<br><br />
<br />
At the end of the war, children were returned home, those that were lucky enough to have homes and families to return home to - some were not so lucky - they had no parents or homes to return to.<br />

==British Home Children==<br />
<br />
Between 1869 and the 1940's nearly 150,000 children were shipped to Canada, South Africa and Australia (mostly to those last two countries between 1920s and 1970s). Many were not orphans but were deserted or sent without parental consent.<br />
<br />
There are many youngsters in the Home Child Index that were both born and sent between the censuses so do not appear on any UK census so it is worth searching the database even if you do not have a known missing ancestor as you may find a relative that you did not know existed. <br />
<br />
There are still many youngsters not being investigated or researched, is your child one of them? <br />

<div>__NOEDITSECTION__<br />
<br />
Between 1869 and the 1940's nearly 150,000 children were shipped to Canada, South Africa and Australia (mostly to those last two countries between 1920s and 1970s). Many were not orphans but were deserted or sent without parental consent. <br />
<br />
Listed below are the best sites to use if you have a child in your tree who you cannot find a death for, or have lost complete track of. These sites can also point you in the direction of other useful sites.<br />
<br />
There are many children in the database who were born and sent in between censuses so do not appear on any UK Census so it is worth searching the database even if you do not have a missing ancestor as you may find a relative that you did not know existed. <br />
<br />
Some children came back to England once they reached adulthood or to join up in WW1 so even though they may have married or died here in the United Kingdom, it does not mean they were not sent out as a child. <br />
<br />
If you have questions please Private Message [http://www.familytreeforum.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=894 George]. This is a genealogy subject which is close to George's heart. Some time ago she met the grandson of her home child which was a wonderful moment after searching for so long. <br />
<br />
There are now nearly 3000 children in the database on Britishhomechildren.org site, many are unclaimed. Children are being added on a daily basis by volunteers. Is your relative one of the unclaimed?<br />

<br />
While military records are increasingly being made available online and some have been filmed by the LDS, the major repository for the majority of records remains the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span>. Their <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/militaryhistory/default.htm?source=ddmenu_research0_e research guides]</span> provide an overview of the availability of records for all services. Books, websites and museums can provide more detail. <br />

'''The following describes the main sources for research but is not exhaustive.'''<br />
<br><br><br />
==British Army Research == <br />
<br />
*<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/army.asp '''DocumentsOnline ~ Army''']</span><br />
<br />
*<span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/militaryhistory/army/?WT.lp=mh-33483 '''Research Guide ~ Army''']</span><br />
<br />
*'''[[The Army]]'''<br />
<br><br />
====Before 1914==== <br />
Surviving discharge papers for other ranks are held at <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span> (ref WO97) and those discharged to pension up to 1854 are name indexed on the National Archives <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/default.asp?source=ddmenu_search3&j=1 online catalogue]</span>. There is a 3-year project of digitisation for these records. <br />
<br />
For discharge papers from 1855-1882 it is essential to have some details on a man’s regiment which might be found on the census or on certificates. <br />
<br />
Other records available at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span> include Muster Rolls, Medal Records and Pension records.<br />
<br />
For officers of this period, records can be found at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span> in references WO 25 and WO76. An outline of an officer’s career can be obtained from the Army List. <br />
<br />
Muster rolls and service records for the Militia and Volunteers may be found at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span> and Local Record Offices.<br />
<br />
For all periods of Army service, other useful sources include the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk London Gazette]</span> which is searchable online, for announcements of promotions and awards of certain medals and Regimental Museums, for an overview of the campaigns the regiment was involved in, but not usually for personal records. <br />
<br />
The <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.findmypast.com Findmypast]</span> website has indexes to Regimental births, marriages and deaths, although these are incomplete.<br />
<br><br />
====1914-1918====<br />
Service records for other ranks (non officers) are gradually being made available on the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry]</span> website although a significant number were destroyed. <br />
<br />
Medal cards are available on both the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/ DocumentsOnline]</span> and <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry]</span> websites. <br />
<br />
Medal Rolls, only available at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span> should provide a man’s battalion. <br />
<br />
Service records for Officers are available at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span> and are name searchable on their <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/default.asp?source=ddmenu_search3&j=1 online catalogue]</span> (Refs WO339 and WO374). Again, not all survive. The Army List will provide an outline of an Officer’s career. <br />
<br />
War Diaries for this period are available at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span>, with some online at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/ DocumentsOnline]</span> website. <br />
<br><br />
'''Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC)''' service records can be seen at <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/ DocumentsOnline]</span>.<br />
<br><br />
====1921 to present==== <br />
<br />
For service records see <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.veterans-uk.info Veterans-UK]</span> for procedure and cost. <br />
<br />
War Diaries for World War 2 are available at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span>. <br />
<br />
Recommendations for Honours and Awards for 1935-1990 are available on the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/ DocumentsOnline]</span> website.<br />
<br />
The <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry]</span> website has the Army Roll of Honour 1939-1945. <br />
<br />
Prisoner of War records for WW1 and 2 are available at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span>, with incomplete lists being held by the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.icrc.org/ International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva]</span>. Some P.O.W. records are held on the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry]</span> website. <br />
<br />
Deaths during both World Wars for all services can be found on the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.cwgc.org/debt_of_honour.asp?menuid=14 Commonwealth War Graves Commission]</span> website and, for the Army, in ''Soldiers Died in the Great War'', available on CD ROM, at some libraries and on the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.findmypast.com Findmypast]</span> and <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry]</span> websites. <br />
<br />
Both the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry]</span> and <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.findmypast.com Findmypast]</span> websites have the National Roll of the Great War. <br />
<br />
The <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.1914-1918.net Long Long Trail]</span> website is an excellent resource for WW1.<br />

<br><br />
====Before 1928==== <br />
Service records are held at the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ National Archives]</span> and are increasingly being made available online. Registers of seamen’s services for ratings joining between 1873 and 1923 are available on the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/ DocumentsOnline]</span> website. Some Continuous Service Engagement books for those ratings enlisting between 1853 and 1872 are also available on this site, along with Royal Naval Officers’ Service records 1756-1917 and Wills of Royal Naval Seamen 1786-1882. <br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:General Reference]][[image:battle.jpg|right]]Most researchers will have at least one relation who served on land or sea, in peace or war. Our military and maritime history pages have a wealth of links to historical resources and information on how to obtain records of service.<br />
<br />
<br />
The individual pages are listed below, but there are three main pages:<br />
<br />
*'''[[Military Research]]''': A detailed overview of where to look for records.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Military History]]''': The central page for military information.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Maritime History]]''': The central page for maritime information.<br />
<br />
<br />
The British Army, Royal Navy and Air Force each have their own dedicated page. <br />
<br />
There are separate pages for World War One and World War Two. <br />
<br />
<br />
Resources for the Allied Forces can be found on the page for each nation:<br />
<br />
*[[Australia#Military_History|Australia: Military History]]<br />
<br />
*[[Canada#Military_History|Canada: Military History]]<br />
<br />
*[[India#Military_History|India: Military History]]<br />
<br />
*[[New_Zealand#Military_History|New Zealand: Military History]]<br />
<br />
*[[USA#Military_History|USA: Military History]]<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition, there is a page dedicated to those who lost their lives in the service of their country.<br />
<br />
<br />

<div>==Nursing==<br />
<br />
'''Register of Nurses'''<br />
<br />
The Register of Nurses was first published in 1922, and was then produced annually until the late 1940s. These volumes list the nurse by name (including maiden name where appropriate), registration date and number, permanent address at that time, and where they qualified with dates. Later volumes were produced in the 1950s, which list only new nurses for each year and do not give the address.<br />
<br />
Originally there was the main General part of the Register with supplementary 'Mental', 'Male', 'Fever' and 'Sick Children's' parts of the Register. These supplementary parts have changed over the years. When searching check all parts of the Register and the late entries list, which sometimes appears at the end of the General part.<br />
<br />
Nurses would pay an annual fee to be on the Register. After the 1943 Nurses Act it became compulsory to be a State Registered Nurse (SRN) and it is still a legal requirement to practice nursing in the UK. In Scotland, the term originally used was Registered General Nurse (RGN).<br />
<br />
Publication of the Register ended in 1968. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Roll of Nurses'''<br />
<br />
Another type of nurse appeared after 1943: the Assistant Nurse, later known as the State Enrolled Nurse (SEN). This is not the same level of qualification as a SRN or RGN, but the Assistant or Enrolled nurse was recorded in the same way in the Roll of Assistant Nurses, also known as the Roll of Nurses. The GNC kept the Roll, set the syllabus for the examinations and approved the schools of nursing within hospitals. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Irish Registers'''<br />
<br />
The General Nursing Council for Ireland published Registers from 1921. This was replaced in Northern Ireland by the Joint Nursing and Midwifery Council (JNMC) from 1922, which continued to publish Registers and later the Roll of Nurses.<br />

==Nursing & Hospital Directories==<br />
<br />
'''Burdett's Directories'''<br />
<br />
Sir Henry Burdett, Victorian philanthropist, published Burdett's Official Nursing Directory 1894-9. These were annual volumes listing the law pertaining to nurses, the particulars of training schools in the UK and abroad, nursing institutions etc and a list of nurses giving their names, addresses and a very brief résumé. Nurses could pay to have their names added, which many of the London based nurses did. The RCN Archives has a copy of the 1898 and 1899 editions for reference.<br />
<br />
Sir Henry also published Burdett's Hospital Annual 1890-1893 which became Burdett's Hospital & Charities Annual 1894-1930. It lists the hospitals, institutions, charities and organisations, which existed in the UK. It gives membership of hospital boards, names of senior nursing and medical staff, details of training available, size of hospital and of the nursing staff etc. The RCN Archives has copies from 1922-3 and 1928. <br />
<br />
Many hospital records relating to nursing have unfortunately not survived to the present day, but those that do can often provide training and employment records containing genealogy information. The online Wellcome Trust / National Archives Hospital Records Database can provide information on UK hospitals and the location of their records. If the records are not at the local record office, they may still be with the hospital. <br />
<br />
In England and Wales, possible locations include the county record office in the area where the hospital was located.<br />

'''Health Boards - Scotland'''<br />
<br />
In Scotland, the hospital records were the responsibility of Health Boards (or Services) in each area. These were often absorbed into the archives of the universities when they took over the role of training nurses, but some are still held by large hospitals.<br />

'''Specialist Archives'''<br />
<br />
The Wellcome Trust holds the records of the Queens Nursing Institute (district nursing in England & Wales) <br />
<br />
Kings College London hold the records of the Royal British Nurses Association (membership roll published 1909). <br />
<br />
The Royal College of Psychiatrists holds the records of the Royal Medico-Psychological Association which trained and registered Mental Nurses or Attendants. <br />
<br />
The Royal College of Midwives hold their own records of midwifery certification and membership. The Roll of Midwives (covering England & Wales) 1902-1983 will eventually be moving from the RCM to the National Archives at Kew. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''Military Nursing''' <br />
<br />
Research Guides on military nursing are available on the National Archives website: Military Records Information 55, 56 & 57. These provide a brief history of Army, Navy and RAF nursing. Each contains a detailed list of relevant records held at the National Archives and other UK archives.<br />
<br />
The Volunteer Aid Detachments (VADs) were started by the Red Cross and St John's Ambulance Service to provide assistance for army medical services during World War One. They trained volunteers in first aid and other skills. During the Second World War they came under the jurisdiction of the military despite being civilians. Information on the VADs can be found at the Imperial War Museum and service records can be found by writing to the <br />

'''Journals'''<br />
Matrons, Assistant Matrons, Superintendents and nursing leaders are often named in the nursing press. Historical journals can help to trace awards, military postings, promotions, obituaries etc. One of the oldest journals we hold is available to browse online: British Journal of Nursing / Nursing Record 1888-1956.<br />

|In the North West of England, its boundary to the west is the Irish Sea and to the east, the Pennines and Yorkshire.<br />
<br />
It takes its name from the city of Lancaster where the infamous Pendle Witches stood trial in 1612 at Lancaster Castle.<br />
<br />
Formerly a centre for cotton manufacture, the traditional crafts along with its 'dark satanic mills' have been replaced by more modern and varied industries.<br />
<br />
Children's author Beatrix Potter lived on the county's northern border at Hill Top Farm, near Sawrey, until her death in 1943.<br />

The county has undergone numerous boundary changes over the years. <br />

[[image:creating.jpg|right]]<br />
<br />
==Beginning Your Research==<br />
<br />
Before you can start constructing your tree, you need to find the branches and twigs to populate it. This page will give you advice on how to go about it and where to find the information, together with hints and tips on deciding whether they are "yours", using The Wiki pages and external links.<br />
<br />
==Step One ~ Talk To Your Relatives==<br />
<br />
The first thing to do when you’re starting out is to write down everything you know about your family – names, dates and places of birth, marriages & deaths etc. Ask your relatives for help, especially the older generation, they’re usually a mine of information and stories. Perhaps take a tape recorder along with you to record what they say. Collect together as many old photos, certificates and other family documents you can find. Try to find out the identities of the people in these photos.<br />
<br />
Once you’ve collected all of this information and drawn up a simple tree linking them all together, you’re now ready to trace your family back further.<br />
<br />
<br />
[[image:flowchart2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
*[http://www.familytreeforum.com/reference-information-how-guides/34219-downloadable-research-forms.html Family Tree Forum's blank research forms] <br />
<br />
*[http://misbach.org/pdfcharts/ Downloadable Blank Charts] Seven different layouts for recording your direct line.<br />
<br />
*[[How to store it all...]] Gives many different ideas on how to organise your information.<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Two ~ Going Back Before 1900==<br />
<br />
You may be lucky enough to have enough information to take you back to 1901 and beyond. The 1901 census is the latest one which is available to family researchers in its entirety. You can search the census from the comfort of your computer chair through subscription websites such as '''[http://www.ancestry.co.uk Ancestry]'''.<br />
<br />
There are also other sites which you can find on '''[[Online Research]]'''.<br />
<br />
Once you have found your known relative, look to see who’s living in the same household – brothers, sisters, parents or even grandparents. Census returns including names, ages and places of birth were taken every 10 years from 1841, so online you have access to 60 years worth of census records. By tracing your family back through the census returns it is possible to take your family back to ancestors born in the 1700’s. <br />
<br />
<br><br><br />
[[image:flow2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Family History Research ~ Step Two]] This page extends the search back to 1841.'''<br />
<br><br><br />
Write down all of your new found information. It would also be a good idea to save the census images you have found to a file on your computer.<br />
<br />
The '''[[Census Search]]''' pages will give you information about Census returns and advice for searching them.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''A Visual Guide to [[Tracking down your ancestors before 1900]].'''<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Three ~ How Do You Know They "Belong" In Your Tree?==<br />
[[image:Certs_fr.jpg|150px-Certs_fr.jpg|right]]<br />
<br />
What you have now is the framework of your family tree. Some of this information may be wrong, perhaps Granny’s memory is failing, or that the information recorded on the census returns is incorrect. <br />
<br />
To confirm these connections you will need to obtain your ancestor’s birth, marriage and death certificates. These can be obtained online from the General Record Office (GRO) (the General Register Office of Scotland (GROS) in Scotland) or through the local register office where the event was registered. It should cost you around £7 per certificate, which can work out quite expensive. <br />
<br />
However it is essential that you confirm connections this way, otherwise you can end up tracing the wrong ancestors.<br />
<br />
If you weren’t able to trace your family back to the time of the 1901 census, then you can do this through certificates. <br />
<br />
Birth, marriage & death certificates in England and Wales are available from 1st July 1837 (and from 1855 in Scotland) when civil registration was first introduced.<br />
<br />
These pages will help you find out '''[[All About Certificates]]''' and how to go about obtaining them. <br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Four ~ Before Civil Registration==<br />
<br />
[[image:register_fr2.jpg|200px|left]]<br />
<br />
Parish Registers began in 1538 when Thomas Cromwell, Vicar-General to King Henry VIII, instructed parish clergy to keep registers of baptisms, marriages and burials. Before this date there were no records, except for a few created by monks who recorded these events for prominent families. Only some of these very early records from 1538 survive today, some parishes even chose not to record these events at first, so coverage will vary from parish to parish. The registers were kept in the iron bound parish chest with other parish records, with yearly copies sent to the local bishop (Bishops' Transcripts).<br />
<br />
In England and Wales you will find '''[[Parish Registers]]''', together with the Bishops’ Transcripts, in the relevant county or city record office (CRO)''' <br />
<br />
<br />
*[[County_research_venues|'''County and City Record Offices''']]. <br />
<br />
<br />
You may be able to look at the original registers for later dates, however it is most unlikely that you will for the earlier ones. Most have been microfilmed and transcribed which you can view at the record office. You may also find transcribed registers in a local library. <br />
<br />
<br />
*'''[[Records Office Guide]]''' <br />
<br />
<br />
You can do research online however this should only be used as a guide as it is always preferable to refer to the actual parish registers for accuracy reasons. <br />
<br />
Sites such as: [http://www.ancestry.co.uk Ancestry], [http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ ScotlandsPeople], <br />
[http://www.findmypast.com/HomeServlet Find My Past], [http://www.familyrelatives.com Family Relatives], [http://www.familyhistoryonline.net/ Family History Online] hold details of parish registers. You will find other records on these sites such as the Boyd’s Marriage Index and the Pallot Marriage and Baptism Index. <br />
<br />
<br />
*'''[[Online Research]]'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) otherwise known as the Mormons, have gathered a vast amount of information which is of interest to family historians. You can view the International Genealogical Index (IGI) on their website, although this is renowned for its inaccuracies. You can look at microfilmed parish registers at one of their Family Record centres. <br />
<br />
For more information on the LDS go to [[Latter Day Saints Family History Libraries|'''A Guide to the LDS''']]<br />
<br />
You can buy some parish registers on microfiche or CD Rom. These are sold by family history societies and by companies online such as '''[http://www.parishchest.com/index.html?target=front.html&lang=en-gb Parish Chest].''' <br />
<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Five ~ Finding Those Names==<br />
[[image:Census_fr2.jpg|150px-Census_fr2.jpg|right]]<br />
<br />
Even in Victorian times many people could not read or write and therefore did not know how their name was spelt. Together with regional accents the vicar or registrar had no alternative but to record the name which they had heard spoken. If you are having difficulty finding a given surname, then think of an alternative spelling or how it would sound spoken in a local accent. <br />
<br />
The online census returns are an excellent resource for family researchers. However to enable them to be searchable they have to be what’s called transcribed. Each sheet of the original handwritten return is recorded onto a computer database by a transcriber and therefore it’s quite understandable that mistakes can be made. For tips on how to search the census returns go to '''[[Census Search]]'''<br />
<br />
You can imagine what a mammoth task it must have been compiling all of this information on census night. Very often you will find christian names abbreviated, for example Jas for James or Fredk for Frederick. To find more christian name abbreviations go to '''[[Common Forename Abbreviations]]'''. <br />
<br />
Today we name our children according to our own personal choice. Our ancestors may have followed naming traditions. To find out more go to '''[[Naming Patterns]]'''<br />
<br />
You must also bear in mind that your ancestors may not be using the name which they were registered with. If they had a first and a second christian name, then they may have been known as their second name. Also they may be recorded under a nickname such as Jack for John or James, or Nancy for Anne, Ann or Hannah. <br />
<br />
For more information about christian names and surnames go to '''[[Finding those names]]'''<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Six ~ Storing Your new Found information==<br />
[[image:storage.jpg|200px|left]]<br />
<br />
<br />
As soon as you start researching your family you will begin to amass a large amount of information and notes, certificates and other family documents, together with prints of census images, civil registration and parish register entries, and other information which you have found. <br />
<br />
It’s a good idea fairly early on to decide how you are going to organise and store it all, otherwise you can quite easily end up with an unmanageable paper mountain.<br />
<br />
Many researchers store all of their paperwork in ring binders, using a different one for each family. This can then be divided up into separate sections for the different types of information you have gathered. You may decide to store items in plastic wallets within the binder, however make sure that these are acid free otherwise they will damage items over time. You can buy special certificate binders with acid free sleeves online from companies such as:<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''[http://www.genealogysupplies.com/ S&N Genealogy Supplies]'''<br />
<br />
*'''[http://www.my-history.co.uk/ My History]'''<br />
<br />
<br />
There are numerous family tree software packages available to buy at varying prices. Some are even available as a free download:<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''[http://www.familysearch.org/eng/paf/ Personal Ancestral File] (PAF)'''<br />
<br />
*'''[http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/DownloadLegacy.asp Legacy]'''<br />
<br />
<br />
By using a software package your information is held in a manageable and easy to access format. At the click of your computer mouse you can view all of the details you hold on a given person in your tree and clearly see their relationships within it. Many packages have excellent graphics enabling you to create professional looking family tree diagrams. <br />
<br />
You may wish to scan your family photos, these images can then be held in a file on your computer. Some software packages allow you to link these photographs to individuals in your tree. <br />
<br />
All of the information which you have input into your family tree software is stored as a file on your hard drive of your computer. This file can then be uploaded and stored online on sites such as: <br />
<br />
<br />
*'''[http://www.genesreunited.co.uk Genesreunited]'''<br />
<br />
*'''[http://www.tribalpages.com/ Tribal Pages]''' <br />
<br />
*'''[http://www.ancestry.co.uk Ancestry]'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately if your hard drive was to fail, as they eventually do, all of your information held in its files will be lost. It is therefore advisable to regularly back up to disc and keep this in a safe place.<br />
<br />
Most family researchers use a combination of both computer and paper based storage. Whatever system you decide to use is entirely up to you, however make sure that it’s both safe and secure otherwise all of your hard work will be lost.<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''[[How to store it all...]]'''<br />
<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Seven ~ Sorting Out Those Relationships ...==<br />
====Kinship====<br />
[[image:sorting.jpg|200px|left]]<br />
As you research your family you will not only find your direct line ancestors, but also their brothers and sisters as well. The siblings of your grandparents are your great aunts and uncles, and of your great grandparents your great great aunts and uncles, and so on.<br />
<br />
You may wish to research these branches of your family to discover their descendants who are your cousins. Those who share your grandparents are your first cousins and those who share the same great grandparents as you are your second cousins, and again this continues. The children of your first cousins are your first cousins once removed. Their grandchildren will be your first cousin twice removed and so on. The same will apply to your second, third etc cousins. <br />
<br />
Most family tree software packages will work out these relationships for you.<br />
<br />
To read more go to:<br />
<br><br />
*'''[[Degrees of Kinship]]''' <br />
<br><br />
====Forbidden Marriages====<br />
<br />
A list of forbidden marriages was drawn up by the Church in 1560 and these rules applied right up until the 20th century when various Acts of Parliament provided more flexibility. <br />
<br><br />
*'''[[Forbidden Marriages]]<br />
<br><br />
As you start to research the branches of your family you will no doubt find cousins marrying, which was acceptable. This was particularly common in close knit communities. You may also find incidences of marriages on the forbidden list. These may not have been blood relationships such as brother and sister, but say of a man and his wife’s niece. It was common for them to go to another county to marry and return as man and wife to the same community, with nothing more said. It does appear that the church chose to turn a blind eye in these incidences. <br />
<br />
When you discover these multiple connections within your tree you’ll be glad that you invested in a family tree software package to make sense of it all!<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Eight ~ Taking Your Research Further==<br />
[[image:Genhist_fr.jpg|200px|right]]<br />
What you have discovered so far are the bare facts about your ancestors, so if you would like to understand more about their lives then you will need to take your research further.<br />
<br />
Firstly, you now know where your ancestors were born and where they lived. Perhaps they originated abroad, emigrated or spent some time in their lives living overseas. <br />
<br />
The '''[[World Index Page]]''' has links to many websites both in the UK and abroad which will assist in your research. <br />
<br />
You may also be able to identify where they lived from the websites listed on '''[[Maps and Photography|Maps & Photography]]'''.<br />
<br />
You also know what your ancestor’s occupation was. A list of occupations and other terms you may come across in your research, together with their meanings are listed on the '''[[Big_Book|Big Book of Genealogy]]'''.<br />
<br />
'''[[General History]]''' has lots of links to many websites relating to specific occupations, together with other topics which you may come across in your research, such as finding ancestors who fought in the two World Wars.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our ancestors (like us) were shaped by the world they lived in and the sudden movement of a family, for example, from their birthplace to another part of the country could be explained by what was happening in the wider world. '''[[The Timeline]]''' will help you to put the personal life of your ancestors in context with the social and political situation of the time. <br />
<br />
<br />
To get some idea of how your ancestors lived you could visit many Museums and other sites. Some recommendations and ideas for places to visit can be found [[See How Your Ancestors Lived|'''here''']]. <br />
<br />
The page '''[[Family History Books]]''' has recommendations of books which you may find interesting in putting your ancestors into historical context.<br />
<br />
As you uncover your family’s history you may well discover cases of '''[[Divorce and Annulments]]''', '''[[Illegitimacy]]''', '''[[Stillbirth]]''' or '''[[Adoption]]'''. These sections of the WIKI can assist you further in your research.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''It does need to be remembered that Genealogy is not a purely computer based hobby.''' <br />
<br />
<br />
So much more information is held in record offices and other archives, such as in The National Archives of the United Kingdom in Kew in London. <br />
<br />
You can find out what’s held there on their website '''[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ The National Archives]'''. <br />
<br />
Some of the information held at other archives is available on '''[http://www.a2a.org.uk/default.asp A2A - Access to Archives].''' <br />
<br />
The '''[[Records_Office_Guide#Other_Types_of_Records|Records Office Guide]]''' in the Wiki has links to a variety of other sources of records.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lastly, don’t forget to use your search engine e.g. '''[http://www.Google.co.uk Google].''' <br />
<br />
Search under your ancestor’s names and where they lived. You’ll never know what you may find. <br />
<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Nine ~ Contacting Other Researchers==<br />
[[image:ftflogo.jpg|frame|left]]<br />
<br />
Genealogy is an increasingly popular hobby thanks mainly to the numerous television programmes on the subject. It is possible that other people are researching the same ancestors as you, so it’s a good idea to make contact with them to share information, certificates and even photographs. You will be amazed to see how much family resemblance you can see in a photograph of a distant relative. Perhaps your new found contact may be able to name the unidentified people in your photographs. <br />
<br />
<br />
The '''[[Surname Directory]]''' lists the surnames and their localities, which members of this site are researching. <br />
<br />
You can also upload a GEDCOM of your family tree to this site’s '''[http://www.familytreeforum.com/ged_index.php|Names Database]''' and search to see if other members are researching the same individuals as you.<br />
<br />
Other sites you can use for making contacts are '''[http://www.Genesreunited.co.uk Genes Reunited]''', '''[http://www.LostCousins.com Lost Cousins]''' , '''[http://http://www.curiousfox.com/ Curious Fox]''' and '''[http://genealogistsforum.co.uk/forum/index.php Genealogists' Forum]'''.<br />
<br />
One word of advice though. Don’t take the information received from others at face value. You do not know how thorough they have been in their research. Therefore it is advisable to confirm this information yourself before you put it all onto your tree.<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
==Step Ten ~ Asking For Help==<br />
<br />
Everybody researching their family gets stuck at some point, it’s commonly known as a brick wall. <br />
<br />
If this happens to you, then just post a thread up onto the [http://www.familytreeforum.com/research-advice '''Research Board'''] this site and there should be a helpful member around willing to offer their assistance. <br />
<br />
If you have a photograph which you require dating or advice on, then you can post this in a thread on the [http://www.familytreeforum.com/family-tree-photos '''Family Tree Photos'''] board on this site.<br />
<br />
Advice on how to put photographs on to a thread can be found on [http://www.familytreeforum.com/reference-information-how-guides/15486-how-use-photobucket.html '''How to use Photobucket''']<br />
<br><br><br />
<br />
'''Your tree is looking good now, perhaps it’s time to revisit your relatives to jog some memories and hopefully get some more information and put some more names to faces in those old photos ......'''</div>Grimsqueakerhttps://reference.familytreeforum.com/index.php?title=Online_Research&diff=92093Online Research2022-07-17T15:56:05Z<p>Grimsqueaker: </p>

<br />
The Internet can be a useful source of records and information connected with family history research. There are a number of useful sites available and knowing which to use and how to use them effectively can be confusing.<br />
<br />
Which sites to use can depend on a number of factors. A brief overview of the popular sites is shown below. The site listings are not exhaustive and their descriptions are not comprehensive as space is limited, but a visit to the sites mentioned will reveal more information.<br />
<br />
Trying to find specific records can sometimes seem impossible, but the screenshot examples in this section explain how to search for a birth record or locate a missing family in the census.

<br />
<br />
*[[image:freething2.jpg]] [http://www.familysearch.org Family Search (LDS)] A completely free site operated by the Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS). The 1881 census and both pre- and post-civil registration data can be found. The database is far from complete, however, and submitted entries must be treated with caution until verified against the original records. Extracted records are more reliable but again should be verified as correct. The [http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/RG/frameset_rg.asp Research Help on Family Search] is a useful section too.

<br />
*[[image:freething2.jpg]] [http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ Free BMD] Free site covering England and Wales birth, marriage and death records. Although incomplete, it is useful for records from 1837 to around 1920, with more results being added on a regular basis. It also gives reference numbers to use for ordering certificates from the General Register Office, and scans of the index allow you to verify the entry. Marriage results also list the spouse, which is a useful feature that other sites lack. <br><br><br />
<br />
*[[image:freething2.jpg]] [http://www.freecen.org.uk/ FreeCen] is the third of the free sites (Free BMD and FreeReg being the other partner sites). FreeCen has transcriptions of census records but no images, again coverage is improving with regular updates as more volunteer transcribers contribute to the project. The site covers England, Wales and Scotland. One major benefit of the site is that it allows another source of searches which can be used to find ancestors and helps locate references and other information that can be used to locate census images from other online sites. <br><br><br />
<br />
*[[image:freething2.jpg]] [http://www.freereg.org.uk/ Freereg] Another free site, operated on the same basis as Free BMD, which has an increasing number of transcribed parish records, again regular updates are made to the site (roughly one a month) although there are no images available the site is a useful resource and coverage is increasing all the time.<br><br><br />

<br />
*[[Image:paysite thing2.jpg]] [http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ Ancestry] Access to England and Wales birth, marriage and death index from 1837-2004 Pay-per-view (PPV) and subscription packages allow access to a variety of records including bmd, census, a partial parish and probate index, some military and passenger lists, directories and much more. Too much to list in the space available. The tree builder and 1881 census sections of the site are available without a subscription.

The site is fully searchable and has online research guides for specific subjects. <br><br><br />
<br />
Recently some sites have evolved where unwanted or transcribed documents have been placed online, the number of documents may not be huge but as the sites become more popular they can be a useful source of documents such as certificates or probate transcriptions.

*[[Image:paysite thing2.jpg]] [http://www.britishorigins.com/ British Origins] Subscription site offering Boyd's Marriage Index, miscellaneous records of Wills, Apprenticeship records, London Burial Index, Passenger Lists ... and much more. <br><br><br />
<br />
*[[Image:paysite thing2.jpg]] [http://www.familyrelatives.com Family Relatives] Pay-per-view (PPV) or subscription available. Contains BMDs, WW1 and WW2 military records (death indexes), Phillimore Marriage parish registers. Overseas BMDs available free. <br><br><br />
<br />
*[[Image:paysite thing2.jpg]] [http://www.findmypast.com/HomeServlet Find My Past] (Previously Called 1837 Online) Pay-per-view site (PPV), or subscription packages available. Comprehensive birth, marriage and death index, plus census details are available along with migration and military sections, parish records, death duty registers, etc. Again there is too much to list in the space available. FMP is also the first site to have the 1911 England and Wales census available as part of a larger record database. However, it is not available through the normal FMP Explorer subscription - an additional or separate subscription is required to view the 1911 census. <br><br><br />
<br />
*[[Image:paysite thing2.jpg]] [http://www.1901censusonline.com/main.asp?wci=welcome 1901 census] Now part of the records section of the Genes Reunited site (trading as Genes Reunited Records Ltd), images can be viewed by purchasing credits on a "Pay per view" basis or via a subscription taken as part of Gold Membership status. The site name is slightly misleading as the records include England/Wales bmd index and additional census years.<br><br><br />
<br />
*[[Image:paysite thing2.jpg]] [http://www.1911census.co.uk/ 1911 Census] Online access to the England and Wales 1911 census. Whilst searches are free the transcripts and images can only be viewed by purchasing credits. (The 1911 census is also available on the Find My Past website.) <br><br><br />
<br />
*[[Image:paysite thing2.jpg]] [http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk ScotlandsPeople] Pay-per-view site (PPV). Purchase credits to view results. The most comprehensive site for online Scottish records including birth, marriage and death records, census returns for 1841 to 1901 and parish records and probate records. The site also allows you to download certificates and census images for just 5 credits (£1 each). The bmd index coverage has been extended to include additional years but check the availability of images as more recent events cannot be downloaded directly from the site.<br><br><br />
<br />
*[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ The National Archives] Offers a more comprehensive collection than the recently withdrawn A2A website. The free search facility can be used to locate which records office(s) may hold records of your ancestors, in addition, some documents such as pre-1858 wills and many medal cards can be downloaded from the site for a modest charge. The site is fully searchable and has online research guides for specific subjects. <br><br><br />
<br />
Recently some sites have evolved where unwanted or transcribed documents have been placed online, the number of documents may not be huge but as the sites become more popular they can be a useful source of documents such as certificates or probate transcriptions. It is worth having a look at the sites (registration may be required), on a regular basis as members submit new information almost continuously.<br><br><br />
<br />
*[[Image:Sharesitething.jpg]] [http://www.willtranscriptions.co.uk/index.htm Will Transcriptions] contains transcriptions of probate documents. Searches can be made by county or by alphabetical surname listings. The site is still relatively new so the quantity of entries is fairly small but submitted record sites such as this can grow to have a large collection.<br><br><br />
<br />
*[[Image:Sharesitething.jpg]] [http://bmd-cert-exch-site.ourwardfamily.com/ BMD Certificate Exchange] is a site where members can advertise their unwanted certificates (often these have been ordered in error), it is pot luck whether a particular certificate has been submitted but always worth checking periodically.<br><br><br />
<br />
*[http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/index.php/Unwanted_Certificates Unwanted Certificates] is a wiki page where details of unwanted certificates can also be added here on Family Tree Forum.<br><br><br />
