  • Finding family histories? "History of Darcys and Conyers," 1667

    From Girl57@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 3 11:48:33 2022
    Any tips about sources for English family histories? I found a reference to "History of Darcys and Conyers," 1667, in BHO, but can't find it on Google or in WorldCat. Reference doesn't specify whether the work was written or published in that year or by
    whom.

    VCH York, North Riding, in its article on Hornby, refers to this as a manuscript written in 1667.

    (By the way, BHO is a web repository, like Google Books but with more limited focus, so you should cite the specific source that BHO is hosting, and not just BHO.)

    taf, thank you, as always. Will remember to be more specific in citations.
