Hi list, for those with English ancestry the Yesterdays site ( link can be found below) contains thousands of records of persons who made their way through the the County of Derbyshire, England. However many of these people did not originate in Derbyshire and came from all over the country, hence a source of finding elusive ancestors. The type of documents covered include Settlement Examinations, a sort of CV of a persons life up to the point of the examination. Their age, where born, who they worked for, married , children etc. Workhouse records can be found under Board of Guardians with many a harrowing story as the poor and destitute pleaded for relief. Removal Orders were the instrument to remove from a parish those who had not gained a right to settle there, and having fallen on hard times and becoming a burden were returned to their last place of Settlement. Many were removed miles away, some even after spending years in their adoptive parish. Their are many other records of all types giving an insight into the lives of our ancestors during the centuries. mike -- http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm
