I maintain the Genuki
pages for the County of Yorkshire (around 12,500 pages). These pages are
hosted on the Genuki server. I used to maintain the Genuki
Bedfordshire pages too, but these are now ably maintained by Martin Edwards.
A set of pages giving information on how
to format images (pictures) for use on the web, and which file format you
should use for which type. If you have web pages of your own, you may learn
something to assist you from these pages.
A page of links to web pages dealing with Genealogy for
specific families
in Yorkshire (you can have your own added if you want).
A free document: If you are doing family history research,
you will probably find that you need a form to hand to your relatives etc. for
them to fill in giving details of places of birth, marriage, wives, husbands,
siblings etc. I have produced
a form to do this which you can get from the Genuki Yorkshire site in MS
Word 6 format. It is intended that one of these forms should be completed by
each couple.
A large table (83K) of the Archbishops of
Britain from the first one, to present day. The table also includes the
major Bishops.
The transcription of "The English
Peerage" (Volume II. only) dated 1790.
A short Bibliography of each of the Kings
and Queens of England and Scotland (up to and including George IV), and
some of the people around them.
A transcription of "Yorkshire
Folk-talk" (with the characteristics of those who speak it). The book
deals with the dialects spoken in the eastern half of Yorkshire in 1892, and
a lot of it is still relevant today.
Due my interest in Genealogy, I have quite a good collection
of rare books (mainly on Yorkshire). I am slowly scanning these and placing
the results on CDrom which I have for sale on my
CDrom Website.
Links to other places on the Web
Beryl Thompson's
Home Page, also concerned with Yorkshire Genealogy.
GENUKI , the leading
site for U.K. and Ireland Genealogy.
I develop/maintain the Genuki
Yorkshire pages. There are currently some 12,500+ pages on this site, with
at least one page for each parish, including transcripts from Gazetteers, Trade
Directories, Photographs of churches etc.
June Ridsdale has a collection of (mainly old) Yorkshire
Recipes - have you any to add?
Your own (free) local search engine: Are you like me and have
megabytes of data that you keep needing to search? About 3 years ago, I bought
an excellent program to do just this called Wilbur. Once you have indexed
the data, it takes only a second or two to find a given word or words even with
250megabytes. It presents a list of the files containing the word(s) and shows
the word within each file one at a time. Wilbur was shareware, but Wilbur
is now free, and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone needing to do
text searches (web pages, email, etc. etc.) on their own computer.
Are you a Wonnacott, or do you have Wonnacotts in your family line?
If so, then my friend Paul Wonnacott would love to hear from you, particularly
if you can add some more information to his Wonnacott
WWW pages.
