I’ve been involved in genealogical research for over a decade. I was introduced to parts of my family tree by my grandmother and grand uncle. Since then, the tree has grown substantially. More importantly, the stories behind these mostly faceless names has become clearer.
Genealogy is more effective when it is crowdsourced. Don’t hesitate to message me if you know about anyone mentioned here or are related to them.

Thank you, cousin, for your most entertaining blog. Francis Mason is my 11th great grandfather. Do you realize that he lived in Stratford Upon Avon at the same time as William Shakespeare? The town had only about 1,500 inhabitants then.
