Excellent webinar. One of the best I have listened to. Detailed, well-presented. Walked away feeling I now have a roadmap to follow for this type of early family history generations. Thanks you.
Excellent.
Extremely informative and very well delivered by Paul Milner. An excellent lecturer.
From across “the pond” (Indiana, USA), I found some possible links to Heraldy ancestors and this will help me go further in depth.
Gives me a lot to think about,
Good information but not as pertinent to my family heritage as I thought it would be.
Great
Great information and handout! Thank you! : )
Huge amount of information! Lots to think about and lots of things to follow up on.
I appreciate learning about this kind of research. I have a line that goes into the “Peer” titles and it helps me to understand them better. Thank You.
I appreciated the many resources to help in the research process. You answered many of my questions in the presentation.
I like the “road map to genealogical records” idea. It might not give you the answers, but it creates the To Do list and even gives hints of where to find the answers (sources).
I only need a 40 or 50 year stay in the United Kingdom!
I wish had some landed gentry but alas no. Paul is still wonderful to listen and learn from his vast knowledge
interesting even if not directly related to my family relationships
Lots of detailed content in both the syllabus and the webinar presentation for reference and guidance during my British Isles research. Paul – thank you!
Lots of great information, thank you!
lots of info
LOTS of information that will require reviewing this webinar 19x to get all help out. Thanks.
lots of information, not relevant to me (which I knew going in)
need more info about England, tracking people
Once again Paul shows his astounding depth of knowledge
Over sixty slides full of sources and/or examples of that source. Excellent information for anyone with British ancestry.
Paul gave me an abundance of ideas of where to look for information.
Really great…just that I’m fading (it’s late). I’ll finish on the recording later in the week. This helped greatly as I had tried to understand some of these books last year and failed miserably.
So interesting and helpful to gain some knowledge about how to work with all the resources given.
So much wonderful information, how about breaking it down is 2 or even 3 webinars
Sooooooo much wonderful info, hopefully I can knock down some brick walls of my Cholmondelay family 🙂
Super.
Thank you!
Thank you! Great content!
This is new territory for me, but I’m looking forward to using what I’ve learned today when I start researching in England. Very informative!
This was my first webinar regarding “upper crust” so I learned a lot of which I had no idea.
Very good and informative. Thanks!

Very interesting information for an American whose mother was born and raised in England. Paul Milner is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of his knowledge with his listeners. Thank you for another great webinar.
Very Interesting topic and speaker. It was a little over my head in some places but I have not started checking my ancestors back that far so many of the items he mentioned were unfamiliar to me. Very interesting. He is very knowledgeable on this subject.
Very interesting topic. Thanks
Very knowledgeable but definitely need to see again to sort everything out!
Very Knowledgeable speaker but for beginners, this needs to be broken down a bit more. Very helpful.
Wish I had learned a bit about Scotland and Ireland too.

Lloyd’s of London: its history and its records for shipping
Lloyd’s Shipping Lists, and the allied publications are the go-to resources for information about merchant shipping over 100 tons worldwide since 1696. Lloyd’s of London created its first news sheet in 1696. Its successor Lloyd’s List issued in 1734 was a weekly journal of news about ships arriving in English and Irish ports. The New Lloyd’s List ran as a rival beginning in 1769, and replaced it 1773, dropping New after 1788. The frequency of publication changed to daily with annual indexes, advertisements were introduced in 1854. Lloyd’s Weekly Shipping Index began publication in 1880. Further changes were made especially during WWI and WWI with additional records being created. Shipping records are still being produced. The Lists created by Lloyd’s are the go-to place for shipping over 100 tons worldwide to get information on the vessels, their masters, and their owners. The presentation will show examples of the different records and how to interpret and understand the information contained. We will look at what is online, and where to look when not online. Plus, once identified where can one look for more information about the ships and the people involved.
