Wearhead man launches Dale genealogy website

Les Blackett has had a long-held interest in local Weardale history and has launched his own website, Weardale Genealogy.  He will undertake a search of your family tree for as little as 50p but if nothing can be found then the service will be free.  He holds over 68,000 church records of births, deaths and marriages from Lanehead to Frosterley plus school records from Wearhead and St. John’s Chapel; census records and upper Dale mining records.  www.weardalegenealogy.co.uk
