I wonder whether anyone has experience of Channel Islands genealogy or at least can suggest someone who has. I had some relatives by the name of SAUNTER who I understand came from Jersey. Charles H. Saunter was born circa 1910 and married a Cornish girl, Phyllis Holland, in Plymouth in 2nd Quarter 1933. The couple returned to Jersey and had children Terrance, Barry, Brian (1939) and Ann either before or after the German Occupation. I understand they were evacuated to Cornwall during the war. Any information would be greatly appreciated David Henwood CFHS 00037 DFHS 00135

I have researched some Guernsey ancestry but I had to pay a researcher at the Priaulx Library as there is very little online for any of the islands (although work is being done on making more available - see link below).      This website may be of help: http://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php?title=Family_records   Civil Registration began in Jersey 1842 and details about obtaining certificates can be found here: http://www.cab.org.je/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=365   Regards,   Joy ________________________________ From: Henwood Family Tree <FamilyTree.Henwood@btinternet.com> To: DEVON@rootsweb.com; CORNISH-GEN <CORNISH-GEN@rootsweb.com>; CORNISH-FAMILY@rootsweb.com; CORNISH <Cornish@rootsweb.com>; CORNISH-ANCESTORS <CORNISH-ANCESTORS@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, 6 August 2012, 12:30 Subject: [CORNISH-ANCESTORS] Fw: Saunter in Jersey I wonder whether anyone has experience of Channel Islands genealogy or at least can suggest someone who has.

Just a note to say that I would also be interested to know of anyone who has experience of searching the Jersey records.
