Introduction

My name is Teresa Pask née Euridge

I live in New Haw, Surrey – between Woking & Weybridge

I have been researching my family history since 1980. Istarted the Euridge, Uridge One-Name Study in 1982, andthe Pask, Pask One-Name Study in 2002.

I am a member of the Guild of One-Name Studies, andLincolnshire Family History Society

I subscribe to www.ancestry.com., www.findmypast.com.

I have been using TMG since 1999, and use it extensivelyon a daily basis.

My aim is to give back something into family history – so manypeople have helped me. Also to exchange ideas, and differenttechniques.
