1066 Genealogy was officially formed in September 1999 (although we were operating a couple of years before that) and its main purpose was, and still is, to encourage and assist the study and research of Family History and Genealogy especially in Hastings and the 1066 Country.

The best way to use this site is to click in the little box in the top right hand corner where it says 'search' - Type in the name you are looking for, press 'return' and let the site find every occurence of that name in the archives I have published - which at the present moment is 190 different sections of transcribed Data & Information. (05/07/09)

Please remember to search/enter using all Variants of a Surname, e.g. - putting in FOORD will not find FOORDE, FORD, FORDE, etc.

But there again, if you feel that you just want to browse the contents and have a good read - then please feel free to do so as there are lots of interesting tit bits from the East Sussex Archives.

Monumental Inscriptions in Lewes

I have just come across an old floppy disk (work done in 1996) in my personal archives that contains Monumental Transcriptions done by Alfred Ridley Bax FSA in the mid and late 1800’s in Lewes Churchyards.  The Churches covered include St Annes, Jeriah Chapel, Friends Meeting House, South Malling and Malling Street Burial Ground together with some in All Saints and St John Sub Castro.

They have now all been entered into the Monumental Inscription database and in the relevant sections under the main heading of LEWES
