Welcome to rootschat Peter Hudson.
Are you familiar with any of the free sites such as Freebmd, Freecen, Familysearch (there are others as well)? They are generally a good first port of call.
As already suggested, it is a good idea to tell us what you already know, or what specifically you would like to know. There is no point people spending their time searching for information you already have. Posting related questions on various boards is also a no-no I'm afraid, but as you are a new member I'm sure you will be forgiven.

Top tip : a "please" and "thank you" is also appreciated.
