How you can help

Genealogy is a hobby that seems to take up either large amounts of time, or reasonable amounts of money. If you have a lot of time that you can devote to it, it can be quite a cheap hobby. If you have to balance your time between work and family, often the only way to get things moving is to spend money.

If you're related to this branch of the GURRs, there's four primary ways you can help:

Offer your assistance in general research. You don't need any experience in genealogical research - you just need to have a local record office that holds the Births, Marriages and Deaths indices and a willingness to spend about a couple of hours every now and then peering at the screen of a microfiche reader.
Offer your assistance in specific research. Again, you don't need any experience in genealogical research, but you will need local access to a record office in one of the key GURR family locations (currently Chatham, Tunbridge Wells, Leicester, Melbourne, New Zealand).
Write a biography. If there's an ancestor on your branch of the tree who you'd like to see covered in more detail, you can help build a more comprehensive picture of their life and times.
Buy a book! I've just enrolled this site in theAmazon UK Associates programme. This means that if you purchase any bookor CD through Amazon.co.uk through a link on this site, then I will receive a small percentage of the item price. Amazon's prices are not uplifted for this in any way, so you don't lose out and I get a small trickle of revenue to help offset the costs of the research.
