INTRODUCTION
My name is Russell Smith, I
live in Bunbury, Western Australia - I have been researching my family history
for about 25 years.
On this site I have
summarised my own genealogy, especially those lines where I have had most luck.
More importantly I have attached family history reference material turned up
during my research and provided a few links to sites I have found most useful.
I was stimulated to put this
reference material (will summaries, monumental inscriptions, land deeds etc, see
below) online by the great help I have obtained from Eric Youle's
excellent genealogy site in which he makes a tremendous amount of documentation
available for those with ancestors from Sheffield, south Yorkshire and
Derbyshire. Eric's site is at: http://www.powerup.com.au/~exy/index.html
I have found some of my own
Derbyshire ancestors mentioned in the Will and Admon extracts provided by Graham
Hadfield at: DERBYSHIRE
PROBATE RECORDS
I hope others will find the abstracts I have provided useful for their own research.
