I actually started writing this as a book, but as I progressed I kept finding more information! So, I decided to write it as a blog instead, where I could add onto what I had over time, and it would still be current.
Just a word about what you’ll find here – I’ve tried not to include identifying information that is not publicly available, that is, more recent than the most currently available census or BMD (birth/marriage/death) indexes, unless the individual is deceased. If I’m aware of descendants more recent than those I’ve named, I’ll state that a marriage took place or children were born without naming those individuals.
You should also know that newer posts appear at the top, and older posts are after them, in order. If you wish to read the posts in the order I wrote them, you’ll need to start at the last post on the last page and work your way forward.
I hope you all enjoy! 😉 And remember to subscribe to get updates!
