Online English Names Research Directory

A fairly random selection of counties is covered, but for those that are listed this is a solid, well-used site. New entries are posted once a month so you have to wait for your submission to appear. The lists, organised by county, and then alphabetically, can get quite long and they suggest using the FIND feature of your web browser to search for a specific surname on this page (this invaluable piece of advice should be engraved on the hearts of all surfers). Follow the step-by-step instructions for making your submission, and it is easy to update or delete your entry. Related lists using the same format are:
