The Black Country Local and Family History List
Welcome to the List that celebrates the Black Country area of England. It is well defined by our leader, Dave Ogden, in a link further down the page. It is the area to the west and north of Birmingham that was so heavily industrialized during the Industrial Revolution that the soil, houses and people were pretty much coverd in black soot and dust. We are proud of the ability of our ancestors to survive and thrive in this atmosphere. These pages and this list help us to know and understand how these folks lived, what they ate, and where they worked.
