findmypast.com: Search Overseas BMD indexes 1995 - 2002:

findmypast.com has now added British Overseas Birth, Marriage and Death records for 1995-2002 to our already comprehensive BMD collection.
With these new indexes you can track down the couples who were married on a whim by an Elvis impersonator, the children born to parents who’d started a life abroad and any British subjects who died on foreign soil.

One eminent example, in August 1997, was Diana, Princess of Wales. Although her funeral took place back in England the death itself was registered in France, and as such does not appear on UK birth, marriage and death indexes but in the British Overseas Death records.

The British Overseas Birth, Marriage and Death records for 1995-2002 are the complete set held by the General Register Office but not every British birth, marriage or death that occurred in these years will be included. The indexes only include events that were registered with the British Diplomatic Mission (embassies, high commissions and consulates).

If you can't find the records that you're looking for you can contact the British Diplomatic Mission in the country in question here.

I for one did not register my danish civil marriage and divorce, and did not register my daughter's birth in Copenhagen, other than under local laws, until I applied to have her added to my passport.

Today she has her own british passport issued by the embassy.

Passport applicati0ns may be other archives worth searching depending on date and place.

SBS - WORLD NEWS AUSTRALIA: "Convict past now online
25.7.2007. 09:25:48

More than two million Britons and an estimated four million Australians are related to convicts deported from Britain to Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The figures come as online family history sites ancestry.com.au and ancestry.co.uk launched what they said was the most comprehensive online collection of convict transit records from the 80-year period the policy ran."
News in Brief - Times Online: "Criminal relations

The records of 160,000 Britons transported to Australian penal colonies in the 18th and 19th centuries have been published online at www.ancestry.co.uk. More than two million Britons (one in 30) are estimated to be related to the criminals, most of whom had committed theft, in some cases of less than a shilling."

GAGenWeb Project Blog

GAGenWeb Project Blog » Email county Mailing List: "Sometimes we assume that everyone knows about their County Mailing List (many of them are through Rootsweb), but I wanted to speak about how helpful the County List can be for letting everyone know about your pages, your work, as well as be a valuable resource for researchers in the county itself.

I’ve always found that most people don’t really know that we want people to contribute their data. Sure we say this on our pages, but so often, people are timid and don’t think this means them. They may think their family really isn’t of interest to others — when in fact, everyone’s family helped to shape the county in one way or another."

This blog is mostly for the use of the GAGenWeb Project team — the County Coordinators, Regional Coordinators, the Associate State Coordinator, and the State Coordinator. We will be posting information regarding our interaction with the USGenWeb Project, resources for County Coordinators, and other helpful data.

• Genealogy Resources posting section has been launched by Linda Woodward Geiger. This would be a great place for Coordinators to share ideas for collecting site data and challenges encountered in doing so.
• Memorials section will be for us to honor those colleagues in the project who have passed.
• Web Technology area will be for introductions to new technologies that might make our jobs easier and more

The GAGenWeb Project at Rootsweb: "the official home page for GAGenWeb Project. We are a group of volunteers working together to provide Internet websites for genealogical research in every county in the State of Georgia. This Project is non-commercial and fully committed to free access for everyone. To learn more about our parent organization, the USGenWeb Project, visit their website linked here on our pages.

GAGenWeb Project members are located throughout the world, not just in Georgia. We rely on the resources of the Internet and on volunteers who are able to transcribe primary documents to assist us in getting information online."

Brycgstow : Bristol and district life
for genealogy and help with family and local history in Bristol and district.

When Newport Monmouthshire professional genealogist Mike John took his sites off line for a while,
I made MONFH2 tokeep his group together

That had become moribund and I have transformed it into Brycgstow : Bristol and district life

Brycgstow or Brycgstowe (Old English): - Brycg=bridge; Stowe=Assembly place- the assembly place by the bridge: mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) as ‘Bristou’, later written as ‘Bristow’

Welcome to Knightroots

Welcome to Knightroots: "Knightroots, a website on the Knight family and an online Hampshire genealogical resource. We are Linda and Tony Knight and live near Southampton, United Kingdom. We now have over 7000 names on our joint family tree. Our research interests include Hampshire, Dorset, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Sussex, Staffordshire and the Isle of Wight as well as Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Massachusetts and India.

One of the main features of this site is the online transcription section located in the Hampshire OPC section, designed to help other people searching for names in their family tree. We hope that you find this useful. Records are being added from our own resources, as well as transcriptions from other volunteers and donations of fiche. Please note that while some of the the transcriptions on this website are only partial transcriptions, there are some registers have been completely transcribed.

Viewing this data cannot ever replace checking the original data and from a verification point of view, researchers should ALWAYS endeavour to view original registers whenever and wherever possible. There is no overall index to the data and if you are unsure as to which Parish your ancestors may have come from, you may be helped by the baptism, marriage and burial indexes produced on cd by the Hampshire Genealogical Society"

Welcome to Knightroots: "During the course of our own research, we have regularly undertaken free look ups of Parish Registers at Records Offices as well as from our own collection of microfiche. In addition, we have transcribed thousands of other parish register entries and have now extended this into an 'Online Parish Clerk' (OPC) project which has been successfully run in several counties.

What this means is that as well as transcriptions completed by ourselves, we will also include entries from volunteer transcribers. Links to other transcription web sites will also be included as it seems a waste of energy to duplicate the great work already completed by others. We will also incorporate Village and Parish history and photographs. This is an entirely self financing project and we are paying for the hosting of what is a considerable amount of data on our knightroots web-space.

HOW CAN YOU HELP? This OPC exists solely for the benefit of Hampshire researchers such as yourself and the following are ways to assist the Hampshire OPC Project:

1. If you have a fiche reader (or access to one), you can buy parish register fiche from Hampshire Record Office to transcribe. As little as 30 minutes a week (more if you can spare the time) will make a good contribution. You may be able to choose a parish (or part of one), unless it has already been allocated. The transcriber gets full credit and copyright for the work. Alternatively, if you are near an LDS Family History Centre, you can transcribe from films there or from fiche at a local Record Office or Archive if accessible. If you are able to take part, we will send full transcription instructions and will allocate a parish to you. If you have a preference for a particular parish, please let us know.

Just found a new reference to my great uncle

Archives Network Wales - Records of the Rickards family of Usk Priory: "Administrative/Biographical history: The Rickards family of Usk Priory, Monmouthshire, was a branch of the Rickards family of Evenjobb, Radnorshire, that had settled in Gladestry in the same county. The Rev. Robert Rickards (1733-1810) was vicar of Llantrisant, Glamorgan. One of his sons was Richard Fowler Rickards (b. 1765, alive in 1831) of Llantrisant, whose son Robert Hillier Rickards (d. 1873) of Llantrisant, barrister-at-law, and formerly of the 3rd Bombay Lancers, was the father of Robert Rickards of Clifton, Gloucestershire, esq. In 1888 Robert Rickards bought Usk Priory from the mortgagees of Thomas Watkins of Highmead in the parish of Llanfair Cilgedin, Monmouthshire. Usk Priory had been the seat of the Jones family from about 1555 until 1810, when, with the death of the last member of the family, it had been sold to the dukes of Beaufort. In 1865 the eighth duke of Beaufort sold the priory to Thomas Watkins above. Robert Rickards married Isabella, daughter and eventual heir of the Rev. Edward Windsor Richards, rector of St Andrews, Glamorgan, and was succeeded by Robert Windsor Rickards, their only surviving child."
