I have a cousin who used geni.com to assemble our family tree back to the "old country," as we say here. I had long been told I was descended from a namesake signatory of the Declaration of Independence, yet was a bit surprised to find that I really am his fifth great-grandson. His father had emigrated to the colonies from County Tyrone in Ireland, whose father had emigrated to Ireland from Scotland. Geni has established my lineage to my 11th great-grandfather, who was born in Northumbria in the mid-1500s. This means, among other things, that on any give day I can loosely claim English, Scottish, or Irish heritage.

That sounds very complex Oedipus

Not a direct relative, from what I understand he was the brother of one of our family. But a skeleton in the cupboard that no one in my family talked about,.

Quite a sad story.

The local MP tried to get his sentence commuted to life, as it was clear that he was mentally ill.

I guess that was how it was in those days, today he would probably succeeded, then was a different kettle of fish.

My daughter did quite a lot of work on ours, and on my fathers side we were heavily link with the Warmgate in York, where various generations lived and died. She got back to the 1600 which was really interesting.

My mother side were very much linked with Nottingham and lived in Radcliffe of Trent for many generations.

We only came to Hull in the 1930's, when my Grandfather on my fathers side came to be the first greenkeeper of Springhead Golf club when it first opened. I was born in the lodge on the corner of Wymsley Road which was where Grandfather lived whilst being greenkeeper.
