What is the Super Name Index (SNI) and how can I use it?

It is a large database of surnames and associated forenames (or initials where full forenames are not available).
All our indexes that are in a suitable format are gradually being added to the SNI and all our recent publications are already on there.
There will always be other items for which we can only provide a research service such as the Betchworth burials.
The SNI will continually grow and improve so come back from time to time to see what has been added.

How much and what do I get?
1. For both members and non-members the cost of the list generated by the requested surname(s) will be £1 per page printed or 50 pence per page by email.
Please email for a quote stating the surname(s) you require - see last paragraph.
All payments in pound sterling.

2. From the initial enquiry you will receive a quotation showing the number of entries found in the Index for the place names shown in the table below.

3. Once you have examined the quotation and decided what further details you require please email for another quote (see last paragraph) stating required surname(s) and associated place(s).
The cost for non members will be £1 per spreadsheet page/part of page; ESFHS members 50p per page/part page. An additional quote will be provided for Monumental Inscriptions and some Poor Law that are on a page each.

Personal searches at Lingfield Research Centre (LRC).
Visitors to the RC can carry out their own searches, see the LRC page for information on opening times and charges.

Note: We are currently without a Search Secretary and we are reliant on a very small band of volunteers to deal with all search and SNI enquiries we receive, and only on the days the research centre is open. This does mean that the service will not be as quick as we would like and it could be over a week before a response can be made. Please bear this in mind if you have an urgent enquiry and that members' enquiries will be dealt with first, in date order, to ensure a fair service.
