OXFORDSHIRE FHS JOINS THE CD REVOLUTION

For over ten years, the Oxfordshire FHS has published
a wide range of
Parish register transcripts and monumental
inscriptions, and census indexes
And transcriptions, on microfiche. However, by popular
demand, the society
Is now making such data available on CD in the popular
Adobe Acrobat
format. The use of Acrobat means that this data can be
accessed by PC and Mac
users alike. The 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses of
Oxfordshire and North Berkshire
have been fully indexed by members of this society.
These continue to be
available on microfiche, but are now also on sale on
CD. Furthermore,
an increasing number of our parish register
transcripts are now available
on CD, including those for the Oxford City and
Wallingford areas. Further
area collections will follow on CD in the near future.

Another interesting gem now on CD is Volumes 1 to 11
of the
"Oxfordshire Family Historian". This is the society's
journal, which has been
published three times per year since the society's
formation in 1976. This CD
includes over sixty editions of the journal published
over a twenty-one year
period, and includes many quality articles written by
its first editor, Jeremy
Gibson of "Gibson Guides" fame. This is a real
treasure trove of data
For those with Oxfordshire research interests.

For further details of the society's CD publications
and how to order
them, please see :-

NEW BOOKS AND CD’s

Surname Landscape
In Fermanagh

Brian S Turner

The first in an authoritative new series of maps and
accompanying information which reveal the surname
'landscapes' of Ulster's counties. Resulting from more
than 30 years of research Surname Landscape in the
County of Fermanagh gives a fascinating insight into
the special nature of the county through the varied
inheritance which can be seen today.

This work is a full colour map of the county locating
its most numerous and characteristic contemporary
surnames, with the intensity of their occurrence, as
well as all the major towns and villages. It also
includes a breakdown of the top 100 names in the
county and an essay explaining how the surnames of its
people relate to Fermanagh’s particular history.

Of interest to:

·Local and social historians
·Family historians and genealogists
·Community relations and
cross-community studies
·Libraries
·Schools and colleges
·All those interested in Fermanagh



Produced on high quality paper, the map folds from
60x84 cms to 17x20 cms. It can be framed or used as a
poster, and can be supplied unfolded if preferred.

NEW RELEASES FROM ARCHIVE CD BOOKS

parts of the country, all of them easy to find due to
the superb index.

The Life of William Bruges - The First Garter King of
Arms
William Bruges was a man of some prominence in his
day, the first Garter King of Arms, an excellent
herald, diplomat and devoted churchman.

A very large and comprehensive directory of the
county.

Kelly's Directory of Sussex 1882
Each town, village and hamlet have excellent
descriptions of their histories and facilities, plus
directories of private residents and tradespeople.
The county town, Brighton also has a superb street by

traders almost house by house.

1899-1902
A totallly superb account of this battalion's exploits
during the Anglo-Boer War with literally hundreds of

A real bonus is the index of ALL men serving in B, C,

the 1st Battalion. This includes ALL ranks, the date

WEBPAGE REVIEWS

http://www.barnettresearch.freeserve.co.uk/main.htm
This is a truly excellent site devoted to helping
users find out about Merchant Seaman ancestors. The
site informs us which records are available, how to
use them and what you might realistically find. It
also tells us where we might find them. It explains
such records as crew lists and many more. The site was
clear and simple and extremely easy to navigate, there
was no real possibility of getting lost, as there were
plenty of hyperlinks to take you to precisely the
right spot, and they were well cross referenced. The
refreshing lack of needless images also meant the site
was quick to load which is a pleasant bonus

http://www.bitterne.net/
The website of Bitterne Local History Society. This
website follows the pattern of many Family History
Society websites, lists of officers, meetings and
publications, but this website has an added bonus if
you connect via the Lists button. This is a collection
of lists which are free to browse. Many f them refer
to the two World Wars, it is heartening to see many
local and family history societies are using webspace
to honour their lost. I would love to see this
expanded. The other list I found interesting is the
road name changes. It appears many of these happened
when Bitterne became part of Southampton in 1924, but
if you have a road name on the 1881 census that does
not appear on a modern map this may well be the place
to look, for Bitterne anyway!

If this is of use to you in your own personal
research, drop me a line
At and I will put you
in touch with the current holder
Meanwhile, if you have a certificate you don't need
that may be of use to someone else then drop me a
line, and we will advertise it in an upcoming
newsletter .

We have changed the certificate system a little, to
give hopefully an added opportunity for sharing
information. If you have a spare certificate that is
of no use to you at all then you can either send me
the details, as normal, or send me the certificate. If
the certificate is sent to me then it will be sent on
to any enquiries. All spare certificates sent to me
will have their details registered on Free BMD. After
six months if nobody has claimed the certificates as
interesting to their research then they will be
deposited at the SoG library. I will however keep all
the details of the certificate on file and pass them
on to any relevant one name studies registered with
the Guild of One Name Studies.

The address for spare certificates to be sent to is:
GFHN, 66 Northern Road, Aylesbury, HP19 9QY
