I began this website in the year 2000
and the main purpose of this site is to
present my research into my Ancestors and their families.
I have tried to avoid long lists of names and have
concentrated on family groups and
ancestral lines.
I've added an
alphabetical list of people in my tree generated by using
Family Historian

In December 2018 I had my DNA tested. To see the summary
