News and updates

• Feb 2008: Time constrains mean that I'm scaling back my genealogy research coverage area to just Bristol and the parishes within the city of Bath and Northeast Somerset. Devon, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Wiltshire, the remainder of Somerset can be conducted by special arrangement, but may take a few months for me to do the research.
• A (partial) transcription project of the index to the Atlas of Cherokee County, Iowa dating from 1964. I haven't found time to add to it yet. I realise this isn't relevant to England and Wales genealogy, but it's important to me.
• My other volunteer project: Timsbury, Hampshire parish register transcriptions 1780-1837.
• Ancestors of Selina Elizabeth Collins - The Allman, Collins, Naish and Newell families of Hampshire and Wiltshire is partially online.

• "I am very impressed with the research Lisa has conducted for me. She is thorough, timely, and presents the research results in a clear, concise report. Lisa is very friendly and takes a genuine interest in the research; she has provided me with additional information and directed me to links that are relevant to the region and era of my ancestors. I will continue to use her services and when I have the opportunity, I will recommend her to others".
