This is a listing of the all the counties mentioned in the Domesday Book, a census of Norman Britain compiled in 1086, showing the land owners and conditions of the counties and their enclosures. If you have traced your Surname in our DataBase Search Engine, finding your family origin in England, you can use the following information to cross reference particular information about the county where your family heritage started. We also recommend that your Search Your Name in our Harleian Manuscripts DataBase which displays the branches of the family some 600 years later. For detailed information on your family, we recommend you obtain your Family History,  as we have researched the full scope of the family history over the last 25 years from hundreds of such sources. The Domesday Book, the Harleian Manuscripts and our other Search Engines only provide a very tiny percentage of the total references used in research.
