Link: Surnames
« on: Wednesday 29 September 04 12:08 BST (UK) »
On the Devonshire Board, there is a topic: "Link: Devonshire Surname Research"

Quote from: Kazza
A site with links to e-mail submitters registering surname interests in Devonshire.

While trying to repair the broken link to this site, I discovered that it has a lot more to offer, than just Devonshire:

go to:  http://www.jaunay.com/ and click on "name lists"

you will find  AUStralia,  ENGland, New Zealand, IReLand, SCoTland and WaLeS
as well as Ship's passenger lists for AUS / NZ
and a Gateway with Links to other Name researcher sites.

Hope this helps

p.s.
Not sure if this is the optimal place to put this link, but if it isn't, the moderators will sort it out (hint, hint !)
