Cross-border research
« on: Monday 05 June 23 09:38 BST (UK) »
I am looking into a family which, in the late 18th century, lived near the Derbs/Staffs border, and used the services of parishes in both counties. Do I post my queries separately in each, or is there a preferred way of tackling this problem?

I would suggest you post your query in the common room rather than duplicate it on multiple boards.
