Record
Build from sources.
Keep the detail of each record, its reference and its place within your research.
Study a place
A community is made of lives.
People arrive, move on, stay and return. Follow their connections through the records of a place.
From one household to the whole place
Keep the wider
community in view.
A one-place study brings together the people and events associated with a particular place. It might begin with a village, a street or a parish and grow through the records you find.
Name & Place lets you record each source and connect its people and places. A census household, a baptism, a will and a land record can all contribute to your understanding of the same community.
Give attention to the neighbours, witnesses and newcomers as well as established families. Each may help explain something about the place and the lives lived there.
