Name & Place was born out of a need for a database robust enough to cope with the manipulation of historical data in varying formats for a local history study such as census, baptisms, marriages and burials, wills, deeds, manorial rentals, maps, old postcards, photographs and much more, using sources from across the globe.

Genealogist and professional software developer Paul Carter is leading the team to create an intuitive and exciting application which is easily searchable. It produces the coolest graphs which display the raw data to its full potential thus establishing migration, population and occupation trends for a whole community.

Name & Place is suited for a wide variety of history projects, as demonstrated by our user base: PhD history research projects, family history societies, naval historians, local historians, one-name studies, one-place studies and many more.
