Welcome to the Preece Family
History Website.
This site is dedicated to the
research of the Preece surname. If you have
a Preece relative, you may well find a link
through my database of records gathered
through almost 20 years of research.
If you have Preece entries in
your family I would love to hear about them,
either a family tree, copies or certificates
or just family tales.
Below is a quick summary of what
each of the sections accessed via the menu
to the left will show you.

What is a
One Name Study? Where does the
name Preece come from. How can
this site help you?

There
are an increasing number of
records available to be viewed
here on this site. All GRO Birth,
Marriage and Death records up to
1920, together with matching
parish register details where held
(or parents details from census
records), US census entries for
those who moved from the UK, Wills
and Administration details and
much more.....
|
|
Details on the many
different sources consulted so
far, along with those resources
which I hold and are available
for lookups. Totals for the
records I hold, showing the
type, and links to other
sections of the site.

As the Administrator
of the ROOTSWEB Preece message
board, this is incorporated into
the site - take a look and post
your details.
|
|
|
Future Plans - New Sections
to be added
|
Will Beneficiaries -
new pages with details of those mentioned in
Wills, together with any relationship to the
deceased and bequests received (if any).
This will link to the existing wills pages.
A long-term project in its infancy, due to
the numbers involved. I am presently
starting to put together details, if you
have any details from Preece family wills I
would be very interested in hearing about
them.
Unmatched entries - I
hold various parish register entries where,
for whatever reason, no GRO index entry is
present, I plan to place these onto the
site, some will possibly be matched with
misspellings in the future but they will
hopefully help with those elusive families.
NOW AVAILABLE, SEE UPDATES PAGE LINK TO THE
RIGHT.

PLEA
FOR HELP/ADDITIONS!

The database continues to grow,
and I have a constant stream of new records to
enter. However, I am always on the lookout for
more, particularly parish register entries to
match with GRO entries.
All contributions welcome - if
you would like to be acknowledged here on the
site please do let me know.
A big thank you to Adele Hunt
for taking the time to send on Preece entries
when looking up her own family.
Many thanks to www.backtoyourroots.co.uk (Family
History Researcher & Bespoke Pedigrees) for
providing details from BMD certificates.
