This has several pages devoted to churches in Barnsley. Alternatively, go to the GENUKI pages for Yorkshire and follow the links to Barnsley. This also will give you a vast amount of information on Barnsley churches. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
