What Country is your research ?

[clancam37]

I'm trying to find information re my ancestor, John CAMPBELL, Master Mariner place and date of death , post 1871.
So my area of interest is "the sea" as well as most countries he visited by ship.
The magazine "Who Do You Think You Are" March 2014 edition published almost a full page on my search for him.
Can anyone help?  Did anyone read the magazine article?
Regards

I thought researching LUFFMAN would be easy with only 2100 approx worldwide today, and under 500 in the UK around 250 males. However, my research has shown thrown up around 60 Johns, a similar number of Williams. At least one OSMOND b1599 enabled me to track the line from Wiltshire to Dorset. His will dated 1671 was one of the very few documents to survive the 1733 fire at Blandford; not a single line survives intact but it is possible to read the document as all of the damage is at the beginning and end of lines so the context is always clear.

Î am very happy, I have just got in touch with an aunt and uncle in Australia.

I was able to add ten "Goldsmith" cousins to my family. -
There had been 180 SPATZ - JACOB - LEHMANN cousins (1st .. 4th grade).

Now I am looking for our uncles in England, in 1939 they have changed their names from SPATZ to SPENCE.

I don't see why England and Wales are grouped together?
Surely if England and Wales are grouped together shouldnt Scotland lets say with Ireland be grouped?

England and Wales are two seperate countries.
Although I do understand that some records are officially... "England&Wales"

Sorry if someone else has already posted similar to myself

Don't think anyone is suggesting that England and Wales are not two different countries- certainly Trystan (Welsh) and Sarah (English) who started Rootschat would be aware of this.

Perhaps it's because many records (census, etc.) group England and Wales together as opposed to Scotland and Ireland which have totally different systems for registration, laws, etc.
