Our Families Database is one of the most comprehensive British & Irish family databases around and it is still growing. The extent of coverage ranges from minor to significant depending on the family. The following identifies most of the families covered so far, including some which are not yet formally in the database but for which a draft or temporary page has been produced. The list includes some but not all of the main spelling variations so, if you are looking for a particular family name and do not find it under a particular form of spelling, look for a variation of that spelling.
Note. Unlike many other online databases, our list of names does not identify all of the family names that appear in the database. It identifies only the families which have been investigated or which are in the course of being investigated. If you are interested in finding out if a particular family name is mentioned in the database but can't see it below, go to the Search facility (link on the left) and search for it there.
