Both these sections contain a wealth of information about villagers
5.1 GAZETTEERS are commercial directoies covering all communities in its area. They list Names, Businesses and Occupations, and often Location. They are a source of information great for family historians. They can also give a view of the activities in a town orvillage with comment about its history and places of interest.

5.2 EVENTS WITH NAMES
When organising activities or events it is often necessary to keep a list of participants, especially if payments are involved.. These lists may be kept, filed away. Those that survive can be interesting in many ways. Each of the files that you can see in the table at the bottom of this page contain lists of names, people who were something or did something. FAMILY HISTORY INTEREST!
