Let us introduce ourselves - we are Sarah & Joanne, genealogists and historians, who spend the majority of our lives immersed in the Georgian Era. We regard ourselves very much as history detectives and have tried to ensure that in each blog there is at least one piece of information that is not already in the public domain; it could be a record of their birth, marriage or death or an illegitimate child we have found, we never really know until we begin our research where it will lead.
