My friend Jill has traced all her ancestors either living in Manchester or to within 50 miles of the city. Very neat and tidy genealogy! She will be pleased to find the following website authored by Gerard Lodge. A quick look shows that it is a haven for those with Manchester families.

I am 71 years old and live in Carlisle, although I was born and raised in Manchester. I am frustrated in my attempts trying various websites trying to track down info about my grandparents (maternal and paternal). I have some sketchy info but would appreciate some help to get more information. Is this a service you provide? I would be willing to pay for assistance. Thank you
