Welcome to the 1-place studies forum.
One place studies involve the study of the people of a community within the context of the place they live. Obviously geographical features play a part, but so do other considerations - changes in land ownership, agricultural or commercial activities, lifestyle, etc. Such a study may involve a single street, a village or town, or a parish, for example, but covers the whole community, not just a single family line.
This forum is intended primarily for those carrying out one-place studies and related activities such as indexing of large amounts of data. No doubt each of our studies will be unique, but we all have similar problems in finding and recording data, reading and understanding it, and of course the all-important presentation!
