Goal
The Somerset Team covers the county of Somerset in South West England. Somerset borders Bristol and Gloucestershire to the north, Wiltshire to the east, Dorset to the south-east, and Devon to the south-west.
Our team aims to make all Somerset profiles the best they can be. Our goal is to leave a lasting legacy for future generations, and to help current researchers in their quest to learn about their family history, bringing them one step closer to discovering the myriad of people it has taken for them to draw breath.

Data Doc Note: Somerset is keeping pace through cleaner new profile growth. Keep focus on DBE_600 location series suggestions as absent or erroneous country locations can see some stats skewed for national projects.

Martin Southwood who ran the http://www.wsom.org.uk/Parreg.html site passed away in 2018.
Here is the note from his wife Gill. I am working on the Chidgey family at the moment:
"Sadly my husband Martin died in October 2018 - but I know he would be thrilled to see that the research he did over the years is still helping family historians to discover more about their families. I am not really computer literate enough to be able to help you, but did you know that there are still Chidgeys living in Watchet. Maurice Chidgey used to be in the printing department of the local newspaper, the West Somerset Free Press and he has written a book about Watchet, with many old photos. It's title is "Watchet & Williton Revisited" by Maurice & Joyce Chidgey and Ben Norman, printed by Halsgrove (their email according the book is www.halsgrove.com). It may be possible to get a second-hand copy from ABE Books, an on-line bookstore in UK. Also printed by Halsgrove is "The Book of Watchet - a Millenium Portrait" compiled by David Banks - again full of old photos."
The page http://www.wsom.org.uk/Parreg.html is buried very deep in the Somerset Resources and as this page has birth/baptism, marriage and burial information on well over 20 parishes, could it be linked under each parish? Big job, but I would be willing to help out with that. AND, I hope that it doesn't disappear, like High Littleton did for a while.
I can't determine the server that these pages are uploaded under.
Wendy :)
