We look at topological equisingularity of a holomorphic family of reduced mapping germs Formula over a contractible base T having non-isolated singularities, by means of their normalisations. We introduce the notion of Equisingularity at the Normalisation for a family ft and prove that, in many cases, it characterises topological embedded equisingularity and R-equisingularity. Moreover we apply our results to the study of topological A-equisingularity of parametrised surfaces, and in many cases characterise it in terms of the constancy of the Milnor number of the inverse image of the singular sets of the parametrised surfaces. A novelty of our approach is that our topological trivialisations are global in the base.
