A family genealogy of my ancestors and the ancestors of my children's mother.
The information on this site applies to my close relatives such as my brother and his children, and my cousins. It generally does not record the ancestors of most persons who are spouses of genetically related persons (cousins in the widest definition) with some exceptions.
In early 2025 the site has been extensively revised to provide more detail of ancestral origins; much of this has been acquired in the last 5 years with the increase in DNA testing, and more tools that help to examine relatedness. In addition a new group of pages recounts family stories, background to their lives, and maps of significant places.
Each of the four main family lines have their own group of pages as set out in the links on the left; the Jefferies, Galtons, Meads and Goughs.
The family sections hold the ancestor and descendant charts and DNA information for each family. There are some references to DNA matches that, currently, have no documented links but are otherwise genetically related.
The Family Stories group of pages hold the tales, sayings and assertions inherited from the past and some transcriptions of diaries and written memories. More will be added as time and information permits.
More information is held than appears here. Further information and corrections are most welcome via the email link at the bottom of any page.
