We have created this website to display our family tree. In the process of creating this there was a rumour that the government were going to prevent anyone from viewing the General Indexes of Births, Marriages and Deaths. So work on this website stopped. We then concentrated our efforts on obtaining all the names in the records of the GOODY surname and also a large proportion of the GOODEY surname for the period since the records began in 1837 up to 2005. We have a list of both surnames because we have found that there have been many occurrences of mispelling particularly between GOODY/GOODEY. As you will find in our family history and genealogy the use of both GOODY/GOODEY has occurred between parents and their children. There are many instances of the clergy misspelling the surnames of individual children when there were christenings of large families, of which there were many in those days.
For those of you who have just begun to research your genealogy you may well find that this researching can become obsessive. Those that have been researching their family history for some time will deny this but they are in denial.
If you do not see your surname on the list below you may find it if you click on Unknown Home Page button. In this area there are several family trees that we have not yet been able to link to us but perhaps with your help we can all find that link.
We have obtained our information for our family tree from various sources, ie the family, official government resources on the internet, various local authority archives and parish records. We are crosschecking all our information with the copy of the registers that we have made.
Where the full name of a person is unknown or we were unable to read it on the records you will find ?????? to indicate this. We will update this site as information is gained.
