Norfolk: Lookups in One Name Studies

The people below have collected information about surnames that is far more extensive than their own familes, and they are happy to share their information. The resources offered here cover all or part of Norfolk.

See also the Guild of One Name Studies.
For lookups in censuses, directories and parish records, see the Norfolk Lookup Exchange.

Composing your Query

Please send one query per email message, say which surname and which resource that your query refers to, and say that you found the volunteer's name on the Genuki Norfolk One Name Surname Studies Page. Remember that you may not get an immediate reply, as people may be on holiday, have family commitments, etc.

Queries should not require extensive research, and the volunteers will judge how much work is needed to answer each one. They may reply that they cannot help, and that you need to employ a researcher. It is a private matter between you and the volunteer if you decide to employ him or her.

Sending your Thanks

The volunteers appreciate it if you acknowledge receipt of the information that they send to you. Whether your request was for a simple lookup, or for something more extensive, please remember to thank them.

Joining the Volunteers

More people are always welcome to join the volunteers.

If you have collected all occurrences of a surname from a parish register, or the GRO indexes, or a census, or indexes of wills, etc, and are happy to share this research, please contact me. Remember that your resources must include Norfolk.
