This started out as a "jolly" and then turned into an obsession - A long and  continuing labour of love and dedication.  It has also had a rather profound  effect on me.  This is a record for the future generations.

I started in earnest in January 06 and have to thank so many people for their  kind and patient help.

If you are a family member and spot any mistakes or would 
 like your information added please contact me.  Living persons details are  hidden for privacy and confidentiality.

My ultimate aim is to prepare a history of the various branches of the family  so by adding your details, stories, observations, rememberances etc I can add  flesh to the names.  Any copies of documents or photos would be greatly  appreciated.  My hope is for this to exist for future generations and to have  a record of all the people who made us who we are today.

Doing this research has made me very proud of the family name(s) and given me  a new respect and pride in the current family.  I have "found" people who  would have been long forgotten, like Helene Herpe who died age 2, Mabel Lane  and Amy Forster, people who although they died young should not be forgotten  or overlooked.  All these people before us, should have their rightful place  in OUR history.

I also have the tree on Genes Reunited and Family Tree Maker.  Please don't  forget to sign the guestbook.

May I just add that whilst I am willing to share ALL information that I have  found and verified (with many long hours and often with financial outlay) and  then collated, I do ask that you please me ask first/let me know that you are  taking certain information.  Any information that I receive from anyone (and  various places/sources) is always credited to that person/source and stored in  my computerised and paper records.
