Subject: RE: BS: I'm probably in line to British throne.. From: DMcG Date: 14 Feb 17 - 02:40 AM There is a particularly difficult knot in one part of my family tree. Like many places in the UK, when Middlesbrough first boomed there was a massive influx of people to the newly created jobs and almost no housing had yet been built. The net result is that the census shows 22 people living in a certain house, five of whom had the same name. All were more or less the same age and all had the same job. Deciding which one was my ancestor is tricky. |

Subject: BS: I'm probably in line to British throne.. From: Bill D Date: 13 Feb 17 - 09:09 PM ...about 14,279,637th, I'd guess... it WAS 18 generations ago, After much research, it seems to be accurate that Thomas Denton and Agnes Baldington are my ancestors.. Thomas Denton Along the way were 2 governors of the Massachusetts colony, Thomas Dudley and Simon Bradstreet. I am not staying awake nights waiting for a call...but geneology is fun when you can actually find data & records. Part of my family were in Western Pennsylvania after moving from Delaware, Mass., Rhode Island, New Jersey...etc. in the early/mid 1700s. Many of my 'connections' were a result of 2nd daughters or 4th sons happening on unattached members of a family with 'important' links. Any similar stories? |
