Hi Susan,

If you have not already, consider joining the England project and doing the Orphan Trail. This will teach you how to research and develop English profiles. You can find the project list under the Find drop down menu. You can learn about the trail and take a look at the lists of regional resources that may help you with your research.

You can also edit this post and add location and surname tags. This will get the attention of members with experience in these areas.
