Some time ago, I began to try and collate my family tree. I began with information that other members of the family had already written down and combined it with what my parents and I already knew.
Since then, I have added information collected by my late Uncle as a 70th birthday present for my Dad, from registration and census records and from cousins in the USA. I have made contact with several previously unknown distant relatives around the World who have also added to my knowledge, and I hope, I to their's.
As anyone who has tried to compile their Family history will know, it is a fascinating adventure, but can be full of dead ends and uncertainties.
So far, I have 451 individuals in an ever growing project! ranging from my neice who was born in 2005 to my 7th Great Grandfather who was born around 1708.
I hope you find something of interest in the following links:
