Sussex / Re: ILLMAN FAMILY OF WORTH SUSSEX

Jean - not sure how best to go about this?! All my own family line data is in Brother's Keeper software, all my Illman/Hillman data is in Custodian 3. Objectives - to understand better the origins and distribution of the Illman/Hillman family name worldwide. How do you see your own interests fitting in with this? Currently I am engaged in trying to push back my Illman line in the West Grinstead area through focussing first on WG, then surrounding villages. However, at a distance this is not easy and getting beyond good published records on BMD. Another aspect is looking at the varied occurrences of the family name variants pre 1700. Again, this is older historical literature and lots of "paperwork"! Best wishes - Chris
