The Protestation Returns contains names of people living in the middle of the 17th century and therefore, are a valuable source for both local and family historians. The Lancashire returns contain approximately 35,000 names and according to Jeremy Gibson, the Lancashire Returns are some of the most interesting ones he has seen. The final publication will contain parish maps showing the various townships and will be indexed by surname and place.
