The main purpose of this site is to present my research into my Ancestors and Family.
I have tried to avoid long lists of names and have concentrated on family groups and ancestral lines. I am trying to make it easier to navigate the site and I may produce an alphabetical list of names eventually. If you find any broken links or spot where a link is needed, please let me know.  Unless stated, all pre 1837 'birth' dates are in fact baptisms.
