Sources

What this rests on

683 sources. Almost nothing on this site is original work: it is diagrams drawn by government surveyors, registers kept by church clerks, deeds, estate inventories, and books and articles by people who did the research first.

194 of them link straight to the original online. Where a source is an archival document rather than a web page, the reference is given in full so it can be ordered or found: the collection, the film or volume, and the page.
