After having spent the years 2002 to 2012 researching, writing and publishing on the subject of other peoples’ lives and families, I have decided to do the same for my own extensive family.

Only the facts that can be discovered from public records, plus a few personal details, will be listed here.

However, the main work will involve documenting as much of individual’s family history as can be found in the memories of myself and the families’ older generations.

Visitors to this site who are related to or have knowledge of the families mentioned are invited to contact me by posting a message on my Family Guestbook.

Enquiries from historical or literary researchers will also be welcome; I am happy to help where I am able. As to whether all or part of my research eventually becomes a book remains to be seen.
