Hi, Rickoshea.

I'm afraid you're going to have to provide some specifics if you truly want assistance; asking for data on one entire surname in a whole country is a bit too much for anyone to be able to provide, unfortunately.

Try posting a specific question, such as: 'Does anyone have any information on a George Windmill, born around 1855 in London, England, and married a Georgette Miller in 1875 in Manchester ?'

That would probably garner some suggestions on how to proceed, and someone here might even have information! Remember, genealogy tends to be about specifics, not generalities.

Hope this helps, friend.

Unless he's a Whapham GOONS [wink]

Steve, I'm afraid that one went right over my head! (I'm in the USA, not quite sure what GOONS is...).

Ah - familiar with the concept, but not the acronym. Thanks, Jon!

A big thank you to RandyP for the very sound advice I was obviously being a bit naive in my quest however with people like yourself keeping an eye on one such as me I will suceed
no doubt in the end.

                thanks again
