Incidentally, there are sections of this site designed specifically to help researchers located in other parts of the world. Many kind folk offer a free lookup service in resources they happen to have available. Many of these services are organised into a series of lookup exchanges. Such resources relating to UK genealogy are organised by county, with a separate web site giving the details of what is on offer for each county. A list of these sites relating to England is given in the England lookup exchange index .
New volunteers are always welcome.
Within this structure there is also a lookup exchange covering the whole of England in general . The UK Ordnance Survey Gazetteer , giving a wealth of geographical UK information, is available on-line. If you don't know where to find a UK village, this is the place to look first. I believe web pages should be accessible to all browsers, rather than surfers being browbeaten into switching to some particular browser to see a page. I am currently going through this site trying to achieve this as far as possible, but I do not have any means of testing it with all the dozens of browsers out there.
