This web site is useful if you are trying to find a living Kirkman relative, for example for a male

Y-DNA test.

 

Guild of One Name Studies

This takes you to the Guild’s web site where you can search for the surnames they currently are researching. A description of the Kirkman One Name Study is on this site here

 

Ancestry. com Kirkman Message Board

This Kirkman message board is free to use once you have registered, as is this one Genealogy.com Kirkman Message Board.

 

Roots Web Kirkman Mailing List

This mailing list is not now frequently used, but you may find information posted in the past.

 

Genes Re-United

You have to register to use this site, and there is a subscription, but it is very active with many Kirkman re-searchers

 

National Archives - Wills

You can find and then download certain UK Wills for a very reasonable price here. Very useful.

 

Lancashire Will Index

There is an Index to Lancashire Wills at this link, with more than 240,000 wills indexed to date.

 

National Archives A2A

This site is extremely useful to identify UK documents, some very old. Once you have found a document you want to see, you can order it from the archive source. Also very useful.

 

National Archives E179

Once you get back before the time of Parish Registers, this index of old UK Manorial Rolls and Tax documents is an invaluable search tool - but you need to know the place you want to search. Copies of documents can then be ordered, but it can take time to get them.

 

 

If you find a site which is particularly useful for your Kirkman research and think it should be added to this list, please let me know.
