West Surrey FH Open Day

Tomorrow I will be at Woking Leisure Centre attending the West Surrey FHS Open Day.  The Guild of One-Name Studies have a stand.  I will be lurking around the stand or talking to members and prospective members all day.  Come and say Hi

Another possible origin of name

I learned from a contact in USA that they had heard the Greathead's derived their name from living on a Great Headland, presumably near the sea.  This explanation now appears on the front page of the website, along with other ideas.  

Now there's a thought, what do you think!!!

Website updated - 1 October 2013

Website updated including lots of Birmingham updates.  Still not managed to go through all the early baptisms but maybe soon.

Birmingham parish records

I have collected lots of Birmingham Parish Records from the Ancestry website and added to database.  These will be included in next update

Website updated today ready for tomorrow.  Sadly the search by ID is not working, will try to sort out soon.  You can still search by name.

Not as much done this month as I was whisked off to hospital on 12 August by ambulance.  Ten days later I was released minus my gall bladder and a few nasty stones.  I wanted to have the stones as a souvenier but they said NO.  Not very friendly eh.  Never been in hospital before so it was quite an experience, not to be repeated in a hurry.

Hope you find something of real interest this month
