While researching my family history I have used many online resources and come across a wide range of sites relating to people and places, some are listed below. Click the links to go directly to a site which will open in a new window. I haven't included general sites for searching census, BMD etc here but a wider range of links for general research can be found on my other website - traceyourancestors.net. 

Remember that unless viewing original documents, or images of the original, records online are usually a modern transcript and may contain errors - check with original documents to verify your findings.
