CONTENTS
FAMILY TREE DATABASE:
The backbone of the Digest Family History Database is our comprehensive Family
Tree program. With over 12,000 individuals already featured and more individuals
being added all the time, you can quickly view relationships between local
families and perhaps suggest additional information that we can add. If your own
family are not yet listed then why not consider sending us the information you
already have so that we can add it for you and maybe even expand it further by
linking members of your family tree to associated records already contained on
our database. FAMILY RECORDS DATABASE:
A supplementary database currently containing records of marriages and
deaths/burials, from our own copies of local transcriptions, often with additional information to that which is currently
available elsewhere. Our burials database is even searchable by grave number
(where grave numbers have been recorded) meaning you can now identify all those
individuals who were laid to rest in the same grave. Whenever possible, our records of marriages contain details of both
the bride and grooms father and his occupation and in some cases the names of
witnesses to the marriage. Our memorial inscriptions have either been recorded
by ourselves, (and where possible they include photographs taken by us at the
time of transcription), or from the transcriptions made over recent years by
local enthusiast Ron Gosney. If we have the information available then we will make
it available to you. LOCAL HISTORY ARTICLES:
We have a number of local history articles to publish on the website and these
will be made available as quickly as possible. Our first featured article, 'The Carter
Family of Lime Grove', is now available in our members area and this will be
followed by a history of the parish church of St. Botolph and a study of the
towns Local Education - all well worth the
cost of your subscription. FUTURE ADDITIONS:
Whenever we can obtain additional information this will be made available to our
registered members as quickly as possible. Of interest to many visitors will be
the inclusion of a comprehensive account of the Wooden Sailing Ships built in the town of Knottingley,
supplied courtesy of local enthusiast Mr.
Ron Gosney. A small number of these records are now available in our members
area with several hundred more to follow. Our collection of local Inquest
Reports, previously featured on our Knottingley website, has now been
transferred to the members area of the Digest Family History site. The design
and format of the Digest
Family History website is constantly under review and we will endeavour to
implement as many facilities as possible to enable you to not only access our
records but also to receive assistance, either directly from ourselves or via
contact directly with other members. We would like to think that through your
membership of our website you will meet new friends and interact with members
who have a mutual interest in your own particular family history research.
Above all else, your continued support of our website will enable us to continue
to make this information available. The town of Knottingley is already blessed
with a very informative website relating its local history at
www.knottingley.org and the addition of
the Digest Family History database means we are now able to offer what we
consider to be one of the most comprehensive sources of information
available for any town of comparable size and status within the United Kingdom. With membership fees
available from just £2.50 per month it is fully deserving of everyone's
support so please consider registering today to receive instant access.
