HALLIDAY ONE NAME STUDY
Good news to report. I've adopted the 'Halliday One Name Study' which is a member of the Guild of One Name Studies. I think I originally registered the project in the late 1990's, but due to a young family and other restraints on time, I handed it over to Liz Holliday, who since then has continued to gather information about the surname and variants.
Liz is based in the south of England and has gathered digital and hard copy records for our name, especially from England and Wales statutory records and Wills. The majority of my existing records are for the Scottish Halliday/ Holliday clan members and these were gathered before the days of internet access and ScotlandsPeople.
Over the next few Mondays until Christmas, I intend to visit the ScotlandsPeople Centre in Edinburgh and extract and collate birth, marriage and death indexes with additional information to get the data base underway.
I'm still trying to decide the best format for working with this data : Custodian 4, Brothers Keeper, spread sheets, data base, paper etc and how to display research in a user friendly format.
Anyway I hope to start using this blog again to keep you posted with developments. And many thanks again to Liz for all her hard work with the project over the last ten or more years. This is a project with no vestige of a beginning - no prospect of an end.
Chris,
ReplyDeleteHas been a while since I last checked in with your blog. Great news to read about the One Name Study.
I've been busy volunteering my assistance indexing New York City vital records so if you need data entry help, give a shout out.
