Goldstraw & Goostrey Genealogy

It is hoped that over time the efforts of all those who research the name can be pulled together to form a One Name Study Group which will fulfil the criteria laid down by the Guild of One Name Studies. The minimum requirements are:

1    All entries from indexes to births, marriages and deaths at the Family Records Centre, London, and/or equivalent record offices in Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, etc. See a wealth of information in the Snippets Files

2    A survey of the telephone directories, preferably by name, but principally to show the present day population distribution. This has been done, see link to :-   A World Wide Family.

3    All entries from published will indexes, together with the information given in those wills and letters of administration.

4 The entries from time to time in the International Genealogical Index and a substantial body of entries from relevant parish registers.

5 Entries from the appropriate country histories, and the publications of the local historical and antiquarian societies and from census indexes.
