Dedicated to the memory of Ray Emery Osborn (1931-2010), who founded this site. Ray was a champion among genealogists and did much to ensure that vital records from the South Hams were collected and preserved. Readily sharing his extensive resources and via his friendly lookup service, Ray assisted many, many people who (like himself) had Devon roots. Our aim is to ensure that Ray's work is both preserved and continued.

Ray's own collection of some 11,400 individuals, mostly grouped into families, may be found here.
Though including many non-Hams people, it is easily searchable for any that may interest you.
