In 1981 I started tracing my family tree & when I hit a brick wall I started collecting references to all Joplings (Jobling, Joplin Joblin etc). I became fascinated & now have a room full of Jopling information. I have compiled many trees & have a website www.jopling.info. Although my book follows the fortunes of a particular Jopling branch, there is also a lot of general Jopling information.
