Many years ago, when I first started looking at our family history, I divided my family and my husband's, into 16 major groups: one for each of our great-grand parents' surnames (see below). I am now in the process of adding one page for each family group (parents and children). It is a big task!
If you can add any information, if you spot any errors, or if you think I have drawn the wrong conclusions from the information available, please contact me.
I would be delighted to hear from you with any comments, further information, photographs, family trees, queries, background details, or simply just because we have a common interest in family history. I am also happy to provide full details of sources upon request.
The 16 family groups are as follows:
