This website is an attempt to bring together a great deal of research by those interested in the EARLAM family from England, Ireland, Australia and America.

We are always very pleased to hear from others who are also interested in researching this name and in exchanging information. We are grateful for suggestions on how we might improve the website and really enjoy hearing from others about their research.

Please feel most welcome to us. If you have not been able to find what you are looking for, why not drop us a line? We may be able to help.
