Hi! I am just starting my research in the Forest of Dean area and I am fascinated and very excited to explore this history and ancestry!! Nothing is ever easy of course and I quickly found that Barnett and Barnard are somewhat interchangeable in this area. My Barnetts are from Plump Hill/Mitcheldean/East Dean. There seem to be more Barnards than Barnetts. Does anyone have any tips on connecting or eliminating a Barnard from a Barnett? Thanks so much for any insight!
