Family Information

The genealogical information on our families here is in two formats.  Family Details  holds information in pages designated "Sheets" - either Family Group Sheets, or Individual Summary Sheets. The amount of information depends very much on what research has been done on individuals, or indeed on how much material has been found or is available. It will be mainly life events - birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial, where these are known, arranged in generations. As our bare minimum, there should be estimated dates of birth, but for the great majority of families here, there is considerably more information. In addition to life events, many sheets will contain details from census returns, and perhaps newspaper reports.  The Index of Surnames is the gateway to the Family Details.

The second format is Family Trees for principal family pedigrees connected with the Heards of Mid Devon, in the form of downloadable family tree .pdfs. This is for "who beget whom", not for life details: genealogy, not family history. It will not cover all families who have been researched for this website. The family trees provide a basic graphic representation of paternal lines.

In both formats, data for individuals born in 1925 or later who are still alive, or may be still alive, has been anonymised. The very rare exception to this are famous people who are well-known to the general public.
I would be very pleased to receive information about deaths that I am unaware of, or indeed any information to augment the details here.
