The Findmypast website has been used as the primary search tool for genealogical information. Findmypast provides access to a wide range of historical records of births, baptisms, marriages and deaths. These together with parish register sources and census records have provided the facts that have enabled the Hole Family Tree to be traced back nearly five hundred years. These facts are recorded in a RootsMagic database from which data in the form of a pedigree chart and family group sheets have been generated for this website.
