    Just found this website you might be interested in

    Home Page

    Brief local historic descriptions of settlements, it's also a handy A-Z of settlements within the region, many featuring historical maps.

          I fell into the site by accident a couple of years ago when putting my aunt's family history together. Her ancestors were shepherds from the sheep and bandit border area, where the sheep population vastly outnumbered the humans. And now some of the tiddly villages are virtually "lost" now the sheep have been replaced by trees.

            Oh yes, the lost village syndrome, someone lives miles from anywhere nowadays and the address refers to a farm some 10 miles away that was once the hub of a village with 200 occupants 150 years ago.

              Sounds like a nice, simple delivery Glen.

              What's the problem?
