I know the Mormons do extensive work with genealogy. My dad motors down to SLC all the time to delve into their records. My paternal grandmother’s people were German. This is such a loss.
And he would agree with you SoCalPol. The English records can be not so great.
Not LDS, just a person for several decades interested in History and love research.
As old as England is, they didn’t start census until 1841.
the U.S. 1790.
(ok, I know, Domesday Survey could count as a type of census for England early on.)
Am sure your dad will agree, Genealogy is a disease.
