I meant to mention this before, but I have been quite ill and have not done much family history or list correspondence. There is a new Portland CD out called The Royal Manor of Portland Historic Sources" CD, produced by Ken Saunders. kvs1@compuserve.com and sold through the Somerset and Dorset FHS. I have not looked at it myself but there is a review in The Greenwood Tree which says it includes: Parish records - baps, marriages, burials from PRs and BTs Methodist Christenings and burials Memorial Inscriptions Poll Books 1841 census Documents relating to the prison, the building of the breakwater and the Ferrybridge and 'Portland Reconstructed Families" which links together families usen proven sources I think there are records from some wills as well. As I say I have not seen the CD myself so cannot give you any more precise information - for example I am not sure of the dates covered by the parish registers for example. If anyone on the list has this CD and would care to give a more detailed review, I am sure the many Portland researchers would be most grateful. The CD can be bought from Somerset and Dorset FHS for £20 including postage world wide, credit cards accepted.
