Thereference person is the primary person named in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. The status describes their relationship to the primary individual. For example, John Bell is the father-in-law of John Trotter Brockett.

The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB) was first printed in 1885, and it is the national record of women and men who have shaped British history. The current edition features the biographies of over 54,000 individuals. The ODNB primarily offers biographical insights, but not detailed genealogical information. Birth, marriage, and death dates were often imprecise, and family details were sparse. Genealogist Cliff Webb has enhanced over 1,000 post-1800 ODNB entries with genealogical data, including precise dates and family connections. This expanded information is accessible via Findmypast, enabling researchers to uncover familial links to ODNB entrants that may remain undiscovered. Ongoing updates and future supplements ensure a growing resource for family history enthusiasts.
