N.B. Apologies for the downtime experienced at my site, formerly hosted at RootsChat.  Their server has been down for over two years now and doesn't look like it will ever return.  As such I've moved the Twyman site here.

 Updates
24-Jan-10: I've uploaded a small update to the wills section.  Well I say a small update as it's just one will, but it's quite a long will...the longest I've transcribed so far, at five pages and two codicils.

10-Jan-10: A very belated happy new year to everyone.  Today I bring my first update of the year, in the form of another group of will transcriptions.  Again it's a mixed bag...some give some fascinating family details, others really shed no light as to the family of the deceased.

30-Dec-09: Have uploaded a few new will transcriptions to that section.  Mixed bag there really...some with a lot of genealogical use, others that raise more questions that they answer.

28-Dec-09: A few updates have gone up in the wills section...just follow the green tabs on the relevant page.  There will be further wills in the coming days...I'm trying to be much more methodical with my work from now on, and am hoping to work through my backlog of wills in the next few weeks.  I have about two-dozen of those to work through, so please bear with me.
