Welcome
to the Preece Family History Website.
This site
is dedicated to the research of the Preece surname. If you have
a Preece relative, you may well find a link through my database
of records gathered through almost 20 years of research.
If you have
Preece entries in your family I would love to hear about them,
either a family tree, copies or certificates or just family
tales.

FUTURE
PLANS - NEW SECTIONS
|
Will
Beneficiaries - new pages with details of those mentioned in
Wills, together with any relationship to the deceased and bequests
received (if any). This will link to the existing wills pages.
A long-term project in its infancy, due to the numbers involved.
I am presently starting to put together details, if you have
any details from Preece family wills I would be very interested
in hearing about them.
Unmatched
entries - I hold various parish register entries where, for
whatever reason, no GRO index entry is present, I plan to place
these onto the site, some will possibly be matched with misspellings
in the future but they will hopefully help with those elusive
families.

The
following variations of the name PREECE are presently included
within the database:-
