	I am writing this post in the hopes that someone may be able to offer some advice/support. I have for quite a while now been unable to find the parents of my 4x great grandfather and have been considering the above. I realise by undertaking such a study it would involve a tremendous amount of work but hopefully would produce results to enable me to continue my search. Thanks

	Hi Mark, Don't forget to try Google first, not all studies of a surname are done via the official site, for instance I have found fairly exhaustive studies of part of my family that were based on one county...so you might for example google "Appleyard family, Oxfordshire" ( try different variations of the names and places) and find someone has done research on the parish registers etc. If you want to post some details I will have a look? When I get time I think i will try a one name study on one branch of my family, just to see if I can finally tie up the ones in London with others of the surname in Wiltshire ...and find the missing link! :-D
