The descendants of the Worden family of Lancashire, England are numerous... and often curious. We want to know ever more about our family history and genealogy. This blog is meant to help satisfy that need. All Worden researchers are invited to submit their favorite websites, books, and any other resources that have "substantial" Worden contact.

The primary source of Worden historical and genealogical information, of course, is the Worden Family Association http://www.wordenfamilyassoc.org.

Please note: I do not intend to police this site! This is a group effort, intended to help all Worden researchers. Normal courtesy rules apply. If you find a broken or offensive link, please submit a comment. If you have or know of additional websites that would be useful to Worden researchers, please submit them as comments. Notice that I will add them to this blog just as you submit them, without review or edit. Therefore, please include a short paragraph of descriptive text if you think that will help others.

USE CAUTION! As with any resource, no information is guaranteed to be accurate.
