Searching for a lost ancestor? Are you interested in tracing the family tree? If your answer is "yes" then we offer a point of contact for the exchange of data and family tree information relating to any of the names listed below. So take a minute to explore these pages as you never know what you might find. And if indeed you do find a connection, why not drop us a line - email of course! Tracing the family tree gives us great insight into the past and maybe it will help shape the future, who knows? One thing we can be sure of is that by building a family tree now we are making the job so much easier for the next generation.

A word of caution: The narratives that follow are living documents and therefore subject to change. Our purpose therefore is to share with others the results of our labour and to stimulate interest in researching the family tree. We would also like to encourage others to conduct their own research and to offer and exchange information to further our collective knowledge. These narratives are in no way intended as definitive accounts of our families' history and must not, in any circumstance, be interpreted as such. Reproducing in any way any information on our website is on the understanding that you first seek and obtain our permission.

I'm sure you will agree that family history is more enjoyable if read in conjunction with captioned photographs of faces and places etc and to this end I am gathering together a gallery to do justice to the text. You will find photo galleries as you wander through these pages. Privacy is important to me; if you find something that you would like removed, please drop me a line.

Be in it, donate a photo
