Find Ancestors

gawdsakes.....strange name, have you found him on the censuses

Doesn't everyone? I really tried not to because he has enough to sink the Victory. But someone just had to get a bit important and marry some wowser and then another did as well. My father would turn over in his ashes if he was aware of his ancestry. He was a bushman for gawdsakes.

Pers as nobility in her family...........falls orf chair laughing

Cyns

We can arrange for you to sit in a nice hospital, smiling at the lovely white padded walls :-D

Thank you Cyns... :-P

Is that Earl Grey Persie? :-D



Thank you for breakfast Sylvs....maybe I could force myself to have another mooch around the table ;-)



Gins? :-P :-P



Still trying to get used to the idea of not being at the hospital. I should be sitting there all happy and smiling instead of not even been dressed and talking to you lot :-D


Off I go.....~~~~~~~~~

I have Mormons in my tree too Catherine but they are newbies... my mother's 1st cousin married an American Marine when the boats were here in NZ in 1944. She became a Mormon.

I have stayed with them in Arizona and not once did they ask us to go to their church.
Wouldn't have done much good if they had.

I only do my tree not his... he has enough records of his Ancestry mostly done for him. Lots of smartypants nobility etc whereas I am from peasant stock.. with a few Mayors, surgeons and the odd Lady (bit like myself) and Earl.

Dea Xxx :-D :-D :-D

OH's gt gt grandfather was one of 20 children, all survived to adulthood, but fortunately several of them did not marry or have children.


My parental line is the worst ................... they had big families dating back as far as the 1700s, most of the children in each generation married and had big families. One family emigrated to Australia in the 1840s, and had children over there. His niece and nephew both married in the UK, and had a few children, and then emigrated to Australia in the 1850s where they had more children .......... uncle, niece and nephew all ended up in different parts of that country.

The nephew and some of his children (some already married and with children of their own) then boarded a Mormon ship and went to California where they were supposed to proselytize on the Californian Goldfields. I don't think they really were Mormons, have found no proof ..... think they just took advantage of a ship going somewhere. They settled down and populated the San Bernardino area, and became staunch pillars of society.


I have made no attempt to trace these families any further! I know someone who is, and she is well into the 5, or maybe even 6, figures on her ancestry tree ............. and I trust her work ................ but I don't have that over-riding desire to trace every single person!


I want to know only one thing ....... and this has eluded all the researchers into this family, going all the way back to people doing the tree back in the 1970s and '80s ....................


.............. where did John come from in 1740, when he married Catherine???

Her family has been traced back to 1540 ...... but we can only assume that John was born "about 1720" because no-one can find any record of baptism, or possible parents.
