The Tarling family history database and web team is a small all volunteer group aiming to collect, collate and distribute all details of Tarling family history worldwide, old and new and with all variants and derivatives to the name, for free or at as low a cost as possible.
    In order to do this we are asking for help, particularly from anyone who we have helped.  We are already working in a number of areas but we identify below a number of minor tasks where we can identify a clear benefit for Tarling family history.  If you can help with one of these specific tasks please let us know; we have set them out so that there may be something that is part of your own interest, but you can just extend that to recording all Tarlings...

• Tarling surname genetic DNA study. See www.tarling.net/dna.html and the Tarling myfamily.com web site for further details. Brief background: we're looking for any men with a good paternal line in the Tarling or related surname. Would suit any man with the surame Tarling, anywhere on the planet willing to suck a cotton bud!
  

• Transcribing R.G.R. Tarling microfilm for London and Essex. See www.tarling.net/rcrt.html and the R.C.R. Tarling file on the database contributors web site. Background: R.C.R. Tarling collected data on London and Essex Tarlings some time ago and this is available on a microfilm, waiting to be transcribed. Would suit anyone with an interest in London or Essex Tarling families before about 1850 who can get to a nearby LDS Family History Centre.

• Tarling deaths before 1837 in any given area.  Background: we have collected all deaths from civil records and we are going on to the national Burial Index next, but the IGI records few deaths or burials so for any given area (one parish even, particularly one of those with many Tarlings in Essex, Gloucestershire or London & Middlesex) it would be a great help for someone to go through and list all the Tarling deaths. Would suit anyone with an interest in Tarling families in any parish before 1837 who could transcribe all Tarling entries from a parish register (in their local Records Office or via an LDS Family History Centre for instance).

• Tarling vital records before 1837 NOT in the IGI or NBI. Background: we have collected all vital records from the IGI and all civil records (and we are going on to the National Burial Index next), but there are a number of parishes which are NOT in the IGI.  If you are researching one of these, particularly one with many Tarlings in Essex, Gloucestershire or London & Middlesex it would be a great help if you could note ALL the Tarling entries. This would suit anyone with an interest in Tarling families in any NON-IGI parish before 1837 (researching in their local Records Office for instance).

• Local area co-ordination. Background: we have people actively collating data from some areas but not others, in particular we would like help with: USA (e.g. ancestry.com member), Canada (e.g. inGeneas insider), Essex UK (e.g. Essex Record Office) to specifically hunt out additional sources for those areas.  Would suit anyone living in USA, Canada or Essex UK with an interest in Tarling family history.
