Isom Family History |
I am researching Isom and Isham surnames in Northampton, England. The landed branches of the Isham family started in Barby, Lamport, Pytchley and Isham.
I have about names in my records, some lines going back to the 8th Centruy. You can download as GEDCOM files or zipped GEDCOM files. They were last updated January 28, 2008.
