About
This website shares genealogical research into families from the fenland area of Cambridgeshire, England over the last 420 years, plus a few branches stretching into Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Devon and Somerset.
To get started, take a look at the Surnames section where you can check the surname list or search the site for your area of interest.
Don't forget to have a read of the History Repeating blog, and if you're into Twitter, you can follow Family Tree on there.
Please get in contact if you find your relatives on the site or have information that may be of use.
I launched this website on 28 November 1998, which was two years in to my family history research. I am indebted to my close relatives for all the photographs and information that they have provided me with. I am also indebted to the late Pamela McClymont, who gave me a lot of information on the Cross family and Robert Whiteside who gave me a lot of information on the Barber family.
There are far too many people to name but i'd like to thank everyone who has emailed me, written to me or responded in forums with regards to my work over the years. Thank you also to The Littleport Society, the Cambridge Archives, the Cambridge Collection, the Newman Name Society and the Cambridgeshire Family History Society.
