And sleep in dull cold marble where no mention
Of me more must be heard of, say I taught thee."

There are over 15,000 LIST events currently in our Main Data Base and also a few other connected names. A few variants too. They are all the LIST's we know and include those in our in the data bases and trees below. (At least, we think it does!). What we are trying to achieve is a data base that includes every LIST, wherever they may be. The complete data base is much too large to show here but I would be happy to help any one out if they wish. Just ask. If I have the info I'll send it to you.

The links below will take you to the surname lists and trees of the family groups indicated in the text. What we want to achieve here is a simple way of showing each family group or line, and in so doing make it easier for the casual visitor to determine which group they may (or may not) belong to. To make it even easier, use the search engine below. All these separate trees may well be connected and that is the purpose of the DNA project currently under way. There are currently more than 10,000 individuals in the following Trees.

Each link, Tree 1, Tree 2 and so on has a simple and brief description of that family group. The earliest individual in the file is named together with his birth year followed by a brief description of the contents. Click the link to go to the relevant pages. If you use the search engine, then the search result will show which Tree you should look in to refine your research.


Any person or group who are tracing a List lineage which is not mentioned her should feel free to contact me. I would be pleased to add their family tree to those below. Who knows, your tree may actually fit into one of these!
