Family History

The Family history of the residents of Durham can be researched in several different places.
There are many routes one can take to obtain the genealogy of your family. 

The Plate Family 1870's.

You could visit 'The Archives' at County Hall, having made an appointment prior to your visit.


A lot of information may be found on the Headstones in your local cemetery.


Parish records can be searched either in person, by visiting the Parish, or via the internet.

Late Nineteenth Century Family.

Many on-line services are available for the keen family historian. However most do charge for there services. The cost's vary widely from site to site and indeed from Country to Country.


Information that is freely available in Europe, may cost hundreds of dollars in the USA, or any other continent around the world.


I will be starting a Genealogy-Hub on the internet soon and will post details here when the site is up and running.
