Who are we?

The Genuki service is provided by a group of individuals who wish to freely provide genealogical information. As such different people mainatin different sections of the website(e.g. counties). In order to manage this group of people we have established a charitable trust with a group of trustees. We have concentrated in GENUKI on getting information about primary sources into what is in effect a virtual reference library, rather than on acting as a clearing house for research.

The computer resources required to provide this service come in a number of forms but the majority is kindly provided for us by a number of UK universities e.g. www.genuki.org.uk is sited at Manchester University.

If you would like to join us and help in the provision of the Genuki service then please take a look in more detail about how we do this.

Genealogical queries

If you want to ask questions about UK Genealogy, then the most appropriate places to do that are in the many e-mail lists that other organisations have set up. If you want to make your family tree available then http://www.genserv.com/ is one of the sites that provide a facility for doing this.

Please do NOT send us general genealogical queries as it is very unlikely that we have the expertise (or time) to answer them. It may seem impolite but do not expect any reply to such queries. We are not professional researchers and in fact seem to have little enough time to do our own research let alone do any for anybody else as maintaining and expanding the genuki service takes a considerable part of our spare time. If the information that you want is not on the WWW pages, then we do not have it.

However if you do find any errors, or want to offer suggestions, or want to help with genuki, or have comments about a specific county or area then contact the maintainer of that area by using the contact links on the pages in that section of the site. In that way your comment will be directed to the appropriate maintainer. The county developers are grouped by country:
