Deep person search

Find an ancestor.

A name and a year are enough. The next few minutes are spent in census pages, muster rolls, parish registers, and the catalogues of small archives. What comes back is a family, with a source on every line.

As the family says it, not as a record spells it.

When · one is enough

A thirty-year span is enough.
Or "before 1930" if you only know they are gone.

Family stories are evidence. They get tagged as told or lore, never as fact — and they point the search somewhere a record index cannot.
