What to expect

How messages are handled

Messages are read personally by the researcher behind this project. There is no team and no automated response — just one person who cares deeply about getting this history right.

Your email address will be used only to reply to your message. It will not be shared, added to any mailing list, or used for any other purpose.

Response times are typically a few days. Research enquiries involving DNA or documentary evidence may take a little longer to consider carefully.

Particularly welcome
