My name is Katie Chambers and this is the story of my research into my family tree!
I am 31 years old, and live in North East Wales, although I was born just over the border. I have always considered myself English rather than British, but as you will discover, my ancestry so far is firmly rooted in Britain and Ireland. As three out of my four grandparents are still living, I will begin my public research with my great-grandparents:
- My maternal grandmother's parents: William THOMAS and Miriam JONES;
- My maternal grandfather's parents: John Goodwyn (also Goodwin) JEFFERSON and Alice Elizabeth COLEMAN;
- My paternal grandmother's parents: David Harrison BRENNAN and Janet CONWAY; and
- My paternal grandfather's parents: George Arthur CHAMBERS and Maud BURGIN.
There will be Family Group Sheets for all families in my tree; details of where the families originated from, as traced through the censuses; and a timeline of events in my family contrasted with events of national importance at that time, among other things. I will be adding to this list as I get inspired!
One thing that should be noted is that to protect the privacy of the living, no details will be available here of my still living family members. If you believe you could be related to me, but would like to confirm this, please e-mail me, removing NOSPAM from my e-mail address otherwise it won't get to me.
