A website which records the approximate age, stature, residence and occupation
of around 20,000 Gloucestershire men in 1608, together with what arms if any
they were equipped:

Abbreviations are explained on a help page.

A website with a wealth of resources concerning parishes in and around the
Forest of Dean. Registration needed.

http://www.forest-of-dean.net

Their transcriptions are much more than lists of names and dates. All the relevant
information is included where it exists. e.g. the particular hamlet within the parish,
whether a person is the elder, the younger, age at death, widow, occupation etc.,
etc. For this lovely little corner of the world, it makes the IGI look amateur.
Too many features to mention, but Soundex search, advanced custom search,
a growing wills index. After more than a year, I am still discovering something new
every time I visit.

The picture J. Blair shows of Susanna Percy is beautiful, except the child is not Ruth, maybe susan but not Ruth.  Ruth had black hair and brown eyes.  She is my grandmother and is buried in Iantha, MO with her husband, Clarence Hess.  There must be some Spanish in the dna and the name dando is the Spanish word for giving.  I have a picture with Susannah and Ruth.

Best regard,
