As the first promoter of family
history studies as distinct from genealogy more than 60 years ago,
the author of The Atlas and Index of Parish Registers (first
published by Everton's, subsequently by Phillimore's and the one who
saved (and arranged indexing) the Pallot Index (published by
Ancestry), now held at The IHGS that I founded (
www.ihgs.ac.uk ),
saved the Lang Collection of Gretna Green marriage registers and the
unpublished Philimore indexes, and a good deal more, I am certain
that users of my site (
www.britishancestry.org ) may find
some worthwhile help available.
