Hi - I've just joined and am keen to see how the forum works. I'm a New Zealander, researching my (mainly) English and Scottish roots. In particular, I have an interest in the following surnames:
Wilson (my own surname)
Hale (Black Country)
Firkin (Black Country)
Cottrell (Devon)
Melville (Paisley)
Fogarty (Aberdeen)
Bartlett (Gloucestershire/Staffordshire)
Peart (Surrey, Kent, Monmouth)
Scarlett (Norfolk)
Hupton (Norfolk/Staffordshire)
Hoping this forum can be helpful - and that I can also prove to have information that others will find helpful!
