Fulneck School, Fulneck, Pudsey, Leeds, West Yorkshire LS28 8DS, UK

09:30 for 10:00 a.m. on Saturday 2nd August 2014

The Guild visits Yorkshire, and the historic Fulneck Moravian Settlement, to discover records from 1274 which many may not have explored before. Surname specialist George Redmonds (“every county should have one”!) opens our seminar covering early name rich sources including Manorial Records, York Archbishopric Cause Papers and Early Immigrant papers, some newly indexed, providing the potential to extend your knowledge of early surname distribution throughout the country.
