Hi Michael & Co!

I think most of my data comes from books, but some on-line resources I've
found extremely useful are:

A2A (Access to Archives) at:
http://www.a2a.pro.gov.uk/default.asp.

Genuki (Somerset) because there's more on the website than you realise! at:
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/

Somerset Archives at:
http://www.somerset.gov.uk/archives/asp/query.asp.

PRO at:
http://www.pro-online.pro.gov.uk/Searchnew.asp

Somerset, England Genealogy Links - because it does have good links, at:
http://members.shaw.ca/justgen/som.htm

Rootsweb - in its entirety!  Message boards for surnames, the Somerset
(England) General message board, Somerset mailing lists and surname mailing
lists - plus have a look at some of the more unusual mailing lists, for
example, the mediaeval list.

I know there's more, but they don't come to mind at the moment.  Oh, and
totally off-topic;-), there's an amazing Charles Booth online archive -
examines the poverty in London at the end of the nineteenth century.  Worth
looking at to see why so many people left England to go to Canada, the USA
and Australia, etc. - not exactly local, I know, but poverty's poverty, and
I doubt that Bristol was much different.  Find the website on:

Have fun!
