Devon also historically known as Devonshire...
is situated in the far South West of England and bordered by the county of Cornwall
to the west and the counties of Dorset and Somerset to the east. It is the third
largest county in England, popular with tourists and boasts some lovely coastal scenery,
sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages and two National Parks - Dartmoor and Exmoor.
Over the years, the county boundaries have changed, so for some parishes you might find it useful to visit the neighbouring county Gen Web sites of: Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.

Footprints... a Step Back in Time
Footprints...
is my own website dedicated to Devon Genealogy and Family History which evolved from
researching my own Devon ancestry. It contains photographs, historical information,
extractions from Parish Registers and transcriptions of other genealogical material.
