I hope you can find your ancestor: if not then drop me an email and we’ll try to help

My policy is not to include the names of living people without their consent. Therefore, the trees that are described show the families prior to 1900, with limited information about people born after that date. Any other information is only included when I have confirmed that this is acceptable from the person who provided it.

I have family trees and birth, marriage, death information which include living people, and I am willing to share these with people who give me their credentials. Please contact me directly for further information.
