Until I started researching my family tree the only Anglisses I knew were my relatives. Through my interest in family history I've discovered many more relatives and many others who share my name and who may be related to me. I have also discovered many interesting stories about our ancestors - from businesspeople and musicians to inventors and adulterers.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me to put this site together.

Research background

Family history became a real interest for me, as for many others, when the 1901 Census came online. Since then my interest has developed and I’ve seen there’s much more to family history. I make my living as a researcher but in business not family history. I’ve found, however, that many of the skills I use in my job are very useful to a family historian not least knowing how and when to ask for advice and learning from the best practice of others.

This site does not represent a comprehensive one-name study and I cannot guarantee that all details are correct - any suggestions or amendments are welcome.
