Welcome to my site, I hope you find it interesting. 

First of all, a plea.  If you are imterested in any of my names and contact me via 
the link above for the visitor password, please let me know which names interest you, 
as I have other information not on this site.

This site should really be called my British roots - I know I have English and Scots 
blood, but so far no Welsh or Irish.  So far, I have traced family to Surrey, Sussex, 
Kent, London, Suffolk, Huntingdonshire, Wiltshire, Cornwall, Nottinghamshire and 
Worcestershire in England, and Lanarkshire in Scotland.  My family hasn't 
produced anyone famous, they have mostly been country people, working on the 
land, generation by generation. For some reason, though, I do seem to have a 
lot of shoemakers - why is a great mystery.

I have been 'doing' my family history for about 20 years now, and was 
introduced to it by a distant cousin.  As you have probably realised, this is 
a very addictive hobby, and one you never really finish.  I personally think 
that you can't know who you are until you know where you came from.

I'd love to hear from anyone who might be related, or is interested in a 
particular name.

Lastly, but by no means least important, I have attempted to show sources of 
information other than my own.  If I have missed any off, I apologize, and 
will be happy to make amends.  If you want to copy anything from my site, 
please make sure you cite the source, as anyone copying you might have other 
information helpful to me.  Also, if you find I have made a glaring mistake 
somewhere, please don't feel afraid to tell me, as I'd much sooner know than 
go on in ignorance.

Thanks again for looking.


Lastly, please sign my guest book.
