Number ONE - The  Essex Pub -  - enjoy, John Mead & myself plus others have put an incredible effort into updating Ian Hunter's Essexpubs site , this site continues to get better -  (01/01/2007). Plus the new Suffolk Pubs site at http://pubsinuk.com. Actually, from 15 Feb 2007, the Essex Pub site will merge with my London Public House site - the name will remain the same, just in a different format. And improved, too!

Considerable pdating of the many Trade Directories for Essex is now going on at - http://londonpublichouse.com/essexpubs/Directories/index.shtml

There are nine seriously good pages of Essex & Suffolk village sites @ :

Essex1   Essex2  Essex3  Essex4  Essex5  && Suffolk1  Suffolk2  Suffolk3  Suffolk4

Number Two -  Seax  The Essex Record Office online search engine - The staff are totally committed and always extremely friendly and helpful. Well done. This search engine is free, and better than anything else I have ever visited. Just login as guest.

Three   The Cosford Database - the best site for Suffolk.

Four -  The Uttlesford site has just started a new database project which is definitely worth a visit - RUTH - "an online, searchable listing of documents (or copies), photographs and artefacts held in village local history collections".

        The Essex Place Names project - fantastic  resource   

 

Five - LDS for the IGI and 1881 census - best all rounder.

 As a great church believer, it has to be the LDS at - www.familysearch.org http://www.familysearch.org/   Some of the IGI genealogy detail is VERY open to scrutiny, like mine probably.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle   Brilliant way of searching the IGI by village......... Thanks to Helen Wilson for this link.

Six - In Romford, another brilliant site - Romford, Now & Then

Plus   http://www.cfhs.org.uk/1851Index/ - I know it is Cambridge genealogy - search the 1851 census.

Here is a fantastic Cambridgeshire site for the Castle Camps / Bartlow area - an excellent resource.

Plus in Romford, another brilliant site - Romford, Now & Then

Seven  -  Victoria County History of Essex  http://www.essexpast.net/

This is an amazing piece of research being undertaken by the history department at the University of Essex. Well worth a good research, and a good read too

Eight - digital archives -   http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp

The University of Leicester Digital Archives - Lots of trade directories , and lots more - all scanned and searchable through keywords.

Nine - A new site I found which is brilliant for its Vision of Britain through time - good for maps, as is http://uk.multimap.com/map/places.cgi , I also found the greenwood map of London in 1827 through the EOLFHS (use google for this)

Ten - These are ALL at number 10 or better (if you know what I mean)

To join the genealogy message board at Rootsweb for Essex, or try this link (many old links do not work), it works - cool !
