A2A

      Before moving on down the branches of my own Jones surname family tree, it might be helpful to discuss some of the most useful sources. These were often utilized to help rule in, or rule out, the folks hanging from the many branches. The resources certainly changed over the many years, but several were extremely useful. One of the most helpful belonged to the UK archives network. As early as 2005 their collection of primary documents could be searched by topic/subject or individual's name. Needless to say, it was utilized frequently for more than 10 years. The following shows the services available:

      A catalogue of the "Table of Contents", a "Catalogue in Full", and your "Research Interest" could be placed in a "Search A2A". Man, what fun was had digging around the UK archives! Many of my research notebooks have the copy of the documents found among this database. It is discussed now because each document utilized in presenting future individuals can be understood as to the source when given as A2A. Needless to say, the field of Dingad (JD-3) is located in "Muniments of Title", Shropshire, Catalogue Ref. 894 and 1144. What a deal!
