I have a long standing interest in the history of East Hoathly. I have on computer
all the parish registers and the census returns, plus miscellaneous information,
and can provide a print out of any given surname. I am always looking for more
information and postcards, prints, ephemera - literally anything to do with
East Hoathly. e-mail me, Jane Seabrook, on jane@claras.eclipse.co.uk
THE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH SURNAME
INDEX
This index contains genealogical information written on British and foreign
photographs dating from 1860 onwards. Sometimes there is just a surname, sometimes
more. Any information, including the photographer’s details, on these photographs
is lost to the genealogist, so I catalogue and offer this information to family
historians. Supporters who have used the index, send me photographs of their
own family and any that they have found at fairs or antique shops, to add to
the collection. Donations will be welcome and a service to others, but I am
always ready to cover reasonable costs if any have been purchased.
The Index of Surnames from Old Photographs has been put on CD-rom, which can
be viewed by any computer using Adobe Acrobat Reader (free software). The data
on this CD is completely self-contained and requires no installation. There
are no photographs on the CD but it contains the following:-
