I decided to rename all my Smiths with the words-most popular surname-

I ended up getting a pm on genes for a John Most Popular Surname  ::)

the writer gave me a long speil about how we are connected LOL

To be at the top of their game they should not be matching up

John Smith Adelaide

with

John Smith Glasgow

its pointless and stops you sifting out the genuine matches.......

from personal experience there is an excellent source of information in Deemsters walk in douglas upsatairs in the Registry and court building- you can accessa monitor and type in what type of document -whether it be a will/probate record or conveyance deed poll or whatever and it will print out all the entries of a certain surname-one example was listing 1940 to the present day for probate.There are also large ledgers there to view for free of all coveyance entries.You fill in a slip and within minutes I had the original stamped conveyance or probate record in front of me.
