There was an article in our morning paper on the Domesday Book, which is now available on line. The site "allows a surfer to search by place or a person's name. Summaries of the records are free, but the pages themselves - along with a translation from the original Latin - are $6.60 each. " (remember, only landowners are listed, which means the majority of 11th century Britons will not be included.) www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/domesday/ I haven't surfed the site yet, so if YOU do, let us know what you think. I wonder about spelling,....one of my English families lived in Duddlewick, in that timeframe - also spelled Dudlicke, Duddlewyck and others... so, spelling may prove to be a 'challenge. I'll be interested to hear your experiences. S. as a funny aside, 80% of respondents had heard of the Domesday Book (I'm sure they were poling in England)..... 13% thought it was a chapter in the Bible, and 2% thought it was a book by Dan Brown, author of "The Da Vinci Code."...LOVED that last one! -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
