The Folker One-Name Study covers all instances of the name which appear in the British Isles or are known to have either originated or been established there.
Variants known to have a connection include FALKER, FAULKER, FOAKER and FOKER.
Data held by this study includes the following :
- A selection of entries from Parish Registers.
- All entries from the 1992 edition of the IGI.
- Full transcripts of GRO indexes for England and Wales.
- Information from the Index of Wills.
- Information from Census Returns.
- A selection of entries from Gazateers.
- Results from a complete search of telephone directories circa 1990-1992 for Austria, Australia, Canada, Channel Islands, Eire, Great Britain, South Africa and United States of America.
- Information from other sundry sources.
- Information drawn from a collection of family documentation and artefacts.
The Folker Genealogy One-Name website at http://www.geocities.com/heartland/woods/7208 contains much of the collected data. It also features some family biographies and charts, however, this site does not get updated very often.
Detailed profiles and biographies can be found on my Family History Archive website at http://www.14november1940.com/. This site is now the main target of my activity and thus gets updated frequently.
