China:

all those names in the lower left corner - are those the names you are following and researching ? ie is it permitted to declare one's obsession in public ?

Some who know me - particularly the two ladies I work with on family history - would say that - in the American expression - "you aint seen nothin yet!"
Meaning you can expect further goofs.

Im in Canada - as the name suggests - and they are in England (the source of my genes); one of them called me a "numpty" and the other said my mind is in a "twitten". 

Quiz:  Can you tell from that which county I'm working in ?

My apologies:  I meant medievalgenealogy.org.uk; I hadnt falllen upon the other or semi duplicate;  and I also hadnt noticed that Paulene had already mentioned it.

Great way to start - 2 mistakes hardly out of the blocks !!

hi - havent seen anyone mention the site http://medievalgenealogy.org.uk  set up by Chris Phillips.  Reputed to be the best on the Net. Try the lay subsidy rolls, and the poll taxes, and of course the feet of fines.  They are all to one extent or another at least referred to and sometimes catalogued on that site.
