September Catalogue Price Update

Welcome to UK Surnames

Updated 16 January 2009

WHAT'S NEW?

  • A new Mypage which is only available when logged in lists all of your own names, all the other entries that have the same names as yours, and all of the names listed for the same places as your names. I am very excited about this new feature and would very much like feedback on it.
  • Redesigned the place name pages which now contain information regarding local government administration and location maps


Place Names Update

I am making a start at cleaning up the place-names on all entries. During this process it is possible that the places you have listed for some of your names will change to allow them to be listed on the place pages. In some cases I am having to make intelligent guesses as to where you actually meant when you entered the names and places - so it is possible that I have got it wrong. I am working through the counties alphabetically and a list of the completed counties will be updated here

UPDATED COUNTIES

Argyllshire

Place Name pages contain additional links and maps and a short description (well - I have made a very small start on them) PLACE NAME BROWSING AVAILABLE HERE If you would like to add a place description then please send it to me at webmaster@uk-surnames.com and I will add it to the database as a matter of some priority.
