If you encounter any problems during the registration process and are unable to complete this for some reason then please contact me by email at gdl@yorksgen.co.uk setting out the difficulties you have experienced. I can register you saving you any problems so if you would prefer this please tell me what user name and password you would prefer and your full name and where you live.
Registered users are allowed full access and therefore you are encouraged to use the Registration Process. This involves completing some details about yourself and where your Lawson, Cheesbrough and Vertigan interests lived. Click on "Register" on the Blue Links band above.
You will need to enter a User Name and Password so that you can enter the site fully each time you visit. There is a box called "Remember Me" which you can tick to save re-entering these details every time. A small cookie is then inserted but this is only used to save you the effort of entering these passwords every time you visit.
User Names and Passwords are case sensitive so please ensure that you remember them.
To ensure that internet spiders do not infultrate this web site it is important for your own security that on registration you give your valid e-mail address. You can be sure that the details you enter in your User Profile are safe from the prying Internet Spiders as they will not get beyond the initial pages.

The site contains numerous databases which can be downloaded for use with a suitable database program or spreadsheet, some are available on-line as viewable areas. However, before members can have access to them you must add some information about your Lawson/Cheesbrough/Vertigan family by entering details in one of the Forums. This has the advantage of allowing all other members to see who your family is and hopefully you will gain links to others researching your family too. It is important to use dates and locations where the family lived, if you do not know precise dates then please give a best estimate of when they were born.
Members often change e-mail addresses. In order that you can receive notifications of activity on any posts you make it is important that you change any e-mail addresses in your own "User Profile".

» Lawson, Cheesbrough & Vertigan One Name Studies |
This site has been developed to assist anyone researching the Lawson, Cheesbrough or Vertigan names in what ever part of the world they are found. All data contained in the project is made freely available and no charges are made for any data, assistance or research undertaken. The One Name Studies have been in operation for since 1990 although development of this new web site now with Forums began in March 2006. During this period we have amassed databases containing over 270,000 entries and this is available to registered users only who post details of their families in the Forums.
The Forums are the main part of this site. This is where you will create or reply to posts or threads about Lawson, Cheesbrough and Vertigan families. Click on FORUMS in the Site Navigation Panel to the left of the screen to enter or alternatively Click Here.
Use the Site Navigation Panel also to take you to other areas of the web site. Click on the Lawson One Name Study image at the top of each page to return to the Home Page.
You are encouraged to post details of your Lawson, Cheesbrough and Vertigan families (including variant spellings of these names) in the appropriate Forenames Forum depending on where in the world they lived. Doing so will enable others researching the same families to make contact with you and also allow me to search my extensive databases and so offer details from these. The advantages are that you will then be able to share information and hopefully extend your knowledge of your family. You may also post queries in the appropriate Help Wanted Forum in relation to any aspect of your research especially where you have hit a 'brick wall'.
It is not intended that threads should deviate to other surnames as this will detract from the usefulness of the Forum although it is right to include maiden names of spouses to properly identify them.
When posting please make the subject line as meaningful as possible by including the name of the person, where they were from and date of the event. The main body of your entry should again be as full as possible with as many details of your families such as dates and places of birth, marriage and death. Use one entry per generation of each family using the head of the family as the main subject title.
Gerald Lawson (December 2009)

» Add your family to the Forums |
At present you are unable to view the contents of each Forum on the site. Whilst we wish to encourage all users to make the most of it we feel it is only fair that you should contribute something themselves before being able to view what our Senior Members have posted.
It is not recommended that you post full details of living persons but start with earlier generations showing their full names, when and where they were born. Every word is indexed meaning that the 'Search' facilities that will become available to you will result in showing all threads containing the search criteria given.
Initial postings in the Forums should not contain links to other web pages. This is for security reasons only as hackers have attempted to advertise inappropriate materials in the past.
Once you have made an initial posting on your family then you will be elevated to Senior Member status and then you will have total access to all the threads or postings on the site. You may well be able to connect with others researching your own family branches. You will also gain rights to accessing over a quarter of a million individual records including births, deaths and marriages, valuable census data, wills, baptisms and many other records.
