I am still planning on reproducing most of the articles, historical pages, galleries and stories in book form – several people indicated that they would write up their own Adamthwaite families for inclusion in the finished product. So come on everyone – get your stories down in writing and send them to me. They can be long or short, and if you want me to produce individual charts to illustrate the section of your family tree you are writing about, just let me know. I can also produce maps tailored to the area where your ancestors lived.

I hope that ALL of you will try to send me something about your family, and I would particularly welcome articles about members of the following lines, which are currently under-represented on the website:TURQUOISE LINE: descendants of William Adamthwaite and Mary Knewstubb – living closest of any Adamthwaite lines to the old County of WestmorlandBLUE LINE: descendants of William Appleby and Hannah Whitesmith, who all ended up on LondonGREY LINE: descendants of John Adamthwaite and Sarah Steel – in England, Canada and AustraliaLIGHT GREEN LINE: descendants of the mystery John Adamthwaite and Margaret Hunter

If you need some inspiration before you put pen to paper – take another look at some of the articles already in the Miscellany Section, or see below for information about two publications that have already achieved success in print.

Edited by Glenys Marriott

Now back in stock after the original print run was completely sold out! This excellent book edited by a fellow member of the Guild of One-Name Studies, includes over a hundred articles written by members of the Upper Dales Family History Group about their ancestors who migrated from the Yorkshire Dales – some just to neighbouring counties, but many to new lives in the New World.

Copies available from YPD Books  at £12.50

Copies are available directly from Alan at a special price for Adamthwaite researchers of £12:00 including postage.

I have uploaded the latest versions of the Adamthwaite Births, Marriages and Deaths spreadsheets – these now include more references to Miscellany articles and also the West Yorkshire parish records that recently became available on Find My Past (mostly VIOLET line entries).
