UK archives online
Conducting research from afar generally means finding material first. Here’s a growing list of UK archives with online catalogues. You can even ‘follow’ and ‘like’ a LOT of these places on Facebook!
Multi-site search engines:
Find a researcher:
- thru The National Archives
- thru Plymouth & West Devon Record Office
- thru Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives (includes geographical-location listings)
(while I cannot ‘recommend’ a researcher from the above, I have had contact with a researcher in New York City and in northern California; if those places are of use to you, email me!)
