FamilySearch is pleased to announce a new online guide to tracing ancestors in the ceremonial County of Kent England. Kent’s many historical attractions include Canterbury Cathedral (pictured to the left), Gravesend — the last stop for many ships traveling down the River Thames from London, and the White Cliffs of Dover — where you look across the English Channel and see France on a clear day. The guide has been published in the FamilySearch Research Wiki. . .
