Information about an England emigrant ancestor's place of birth or residence is vital to successful research. In pre-1700 England many people in [[England]] especially used a small variety of names, knowing the place of residence or birth is critical before you can research in England's records for further generations. Identifying the correct ancestor (example: Richard Taylor from other Richard Taylor), requires extensive research in all available records in the country of settlement--to the fullest extent possible such as noting neighbors, others possessing the same surname in the same or nearby township[s], given-naming patterns and searching for the same matching given-name usage in England via searching in the largest available online databases, including (but not limited to) 1) [http://familysearch.org FamilySearch], 2) [http://www.findmypast.com/content/english-genealogy-records FindMyPast], 3) [http://www.ancestry.co.uk/home/lo/index?version=a Ancestry.co].uk, 4) [http://freereg.rootsweb.com/ FreeReg], 5) [http://www.onlineparishclerks.org.uk/ county OPC] projects (Online Parish Clerk), 6) [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ TNA] (National Archives), 7) [http://www.origins.net/bowelcome.aspx BritishOriginsNetwork], [http://www.fhlfavorites.info/ FHLFavorites], and others. | Information about an England emigrant ancestor's place of birth or residence is vital to successful research.
