This Darnton Index website was born from an initiative to conduct a single name study of the name 'Darnton'. This involved collecting information about individuals and families.  Good progress has been made for individuals, and many records of family groups are available but need to be converted into a useful form for this website. Many people around the world have now made enquiries about where they fit into the Darnton world, and almost all have received useful information. If you are a Darnton, or have ever had the name Darnton (many people change from or to the name Darnton, particularly on marriage - but there may be other reasons), we would love to hear from you. If you have a business, profession, or occupation, you are welcome to add information about it also. There are places that include the name 'Darnton', and information about those will be added as it becomes available.

The Darnton Index is a project that has been running now for many years. The basic idea is to collect together information about all Darntons worldwide and at any point in time. Much information has now been collected, but there is a lot more work to be done. All the work is voluntary. Contributions of information and documents have been received from people in several countries, as well as many people in the UK. Work is needed to place the 19th century people into family groups, linked where possible, to earlier generations. Please contribute any information you have. The availability of the UK 1911 census means that it is now possible to create more family groups.
