Our only link with immortality is through our descendants - children, grandchildren and so on down  the generations. 
 So, who are you? You are the present day accumulation of all the genes, characteristics and  hereditary behaviour of your ancestors. Have you ever wondered who your ancestors were, where they  lived and what they did? What they looked like?
 What we know about our ancestors is diminished with each generation, until often they are just  statistics, and information that tells us a little more about them gets forgotten.  In compiling this tree, where something more is known I have often made a note thereby recording it  for posterity, 'putting a little flesh on the bones' to use a well known metaphor. However, where it is conjecture,or sensitive,it has mostly been withheld, and in this context if you have questions, or further information, please contact me. The records in this family tree are for those of my kin who may wonder about their ancestors, and provide some, though not all, of the answers.
