The goal of the County Durham & Tyne and Wear Team is to make all County Durham and Tyne and Wear profiles the best that they can be. It is our desire to leave a lasting legacy of work for future generations and current researchers that can facilitate their quest for family history, and bring them one step closer to discovering the myriad of people it has taken for them to draw breath.

I have recently been appointed as Team Leader of Durham & Tyne and Wear and I’m getting in touch with team members to say hello. I was born in York but my Bulmer ancestors are reputedly from Brancepeth hence my interest in Durham. Proving the connection to Brancepeth has been a life long ambition and work in progress! Also my 2xG grandfather was rector of St Andrew's in Deptford, Bishopwearmouth near Durham.
I have been reviewing the team page: County Durham & Tyne and Wear Team.
I’d be grateful if you could cast your eye over the members interests table and let me know if the places and surnames recorded against your name are up-to-date and correct. Please let me know if anything needs updating.
If you would like to improve the overall quality of profiles in Durham & Tyne and Wear and aren’t sure what to do, please let me know.
I look forward to working with you!
With best wishes
Rachel
It might be useful if you go through the England Project Orphan Trail to help you identify the most suitable ways to approach your research.
Would you like me to ask someone to contact you about this?
Kind regards Neil England Project County Durham Team Leader
In the mean time, do you have a specific question?
Are you based in England?
no specific questions just would like to learn about my family history, maybe find more about my father unknown but also find more about where the wheelers meet the robinsons. ydna said i was genetic 7 to the wheeler surname at y67
I'm descended from Robinsons in County Durham, from Hetton le Hole and earlier on the border between County Durham and Northumberland. It was quite a common name! Looking forward to seeing you in the branches :) Marjorie (member of County Durham team)
There are no specific areas of Durham that I am interested in, just Co Durham as a whole.
Thanks Dave Haddock
Best Regards ....Mike (Edwards-7929)
