Nature of the project
Leverington.ch is an independent historical and documentary publication devoted to the place, the name and the different Leverington family histories. The site provides milestones, sources and research leads for general information.
The project is neither an official civil-registration service nor a comprehensive genealogical register, and it is not an organisation legally representing everyone who bears the Leverington name.
Historical and documentary information
Content is prepared with care from the sources available at the time of its latest review. It may evolve when new archives or analysis allow information to be refined.
The evidence levels distinguish reference sources, strongly supported information, material requiring corroboration and research leads. Readers are encouraged to consult the published references and carry out checks appropriate to their own work.
Documentary contributions
Submissions sent to the site are reviewed before any editorial use. By submitting them, the contributor confirms that they are authorised to communicate the relevant information and documents. Publication, presentation and any acknowledgement of the contributor remain subject to editorial approval.
Information concerning living people is handled with particular care and may be omitted, anonymised or removed to protect their privacy and rights.

Any reproduction, adaptation, substantial extraction or commercial use requires prior written permission, subject to statutory exceptions.
Archives, trade marks, photographs, quotations and other third-party content remain the property of their respective owners. They are used in accordance with their licences, permissions obtained or applicable statutory exceptions. Photographic credits appear alongside the relevant images.
Visual identity

Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the publisher is not liable for decisions made solely on the basis of the general information published, for the use of external services, or for indirect loss connected with access to, use of or unavailability of the site.
This limitation does not apply to liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including in cases of intent, gross negligence or where a mandatory provision determines otherwise.
