Re: Visitation Index

Will,
This is a pay-per-view site, asking £15 for a first trial (they will
let you know if you get change or a bill).

I tried Vavas as a prefix and they came up with 6 pedigrees for Vavasor,
2 of them previously unknown to me. Only the places, no actual information.
I have Sims, which would have found at least one of the ones I didn't know
if only I had known which county to look at. I foolishly failed to remember
the location of the other unknown (to me) line. (The one I did remember was
Northants.)

I've said previously that a comprehensive index to the Visitations would
be a useful tool. (Sims might do if I lived in London.) Is anyone interested
in a collaborative effort?

Best,
Ken

Re Indexes of the Visitations. They are all complete evidently.

If you go to my jumppage here.
http://www.countyhistorian.com/cecilweb/index.php/Sources

Closer to the bottom fourth or so, you will find this link Visitation Index

It is, in fact, a Visitation Index. Evidently to all of them.

Try it. Let me know if it appears to be incomplete. I'd like to know.
