Blackford, South East Somerset

In a way it is appropiate that I start this blog just after the latest up date to the website itself. The 1841 census transcripts for Blackford were done by myself and the Marriage and burial transcripts were kindly provided by Richard Travell. If you have family history interests in this area then do have a look at the link lower down the page http://www.westcountrygenealogy.com/ses/blackford/ as that takes you to another website (This is the West Country) which also includes more of interest to family historians. Richard also has a website http://homepage.ntlworld.com/richardtravell/richardtravell/ which contains many more family history records especially in the North Dorset area.

Welcome

Hi Everyone and welcome. I have established this blog as a means to also encourage each one of you to also add your own comments or make any requests as to what you would like to see added to the website. Notification of updates to the website will still be posted on the "whats new" page of the website, but at times any additional information will appear here such as the following post which rounds out a bit more about the latest update to the website.

For regular visitors to the website, you will notice some changes to the site. Sadly the costs of buying records as well as maintaining the site online has meant seeking out ways of raising additional funds to help in this task in addition to the paid research that I do from time to time. Please be assured this will not change the purpose of making transcriptions freely available on the website.

One other thing, please do not post requests for lookups on this blog, this can still be done by email from the main page of the web site.

Have a great day
Roger
