My name is Ian Preece
and this site is part of my study of the
Preece surname. If you have a Preece
relative, you may well find they are in my
database of records – these have been
gathered since 1987, when I joined the
Guild of One Name Studies. I have many
thousands of entries in my files, only
some of which are available on this site.
If you need some help
in locating a missing Preece, drop me a
line, as there is a good chance I will be
able to help, or even put you in touch
with another searching the same family
line. Equally, if you have Preece entries
in your family I would love to hear about
them, whether in a family tree, copies of
certificates or just family stories.
The various sections of
the site are accessible through the menu
above, or by following the links elsewhere
on this page.
I hope you find the
site helpful.
