A General View

We have connections on five of the six continents, and maybe one a member of the family will make some contact with Antarctica - although by its nature that would likely be only a transitory visit.

Our familes come in the main from the United Kingdom and Ireland. There is one from France and there are, and have been of course, relatives who have moved to other parts of the world.

The countries from which we claim direct ancestors include, France, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Countries to which our relatives have spread include Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States, Africa and other smaller places. For some this movement was voluntary and for others it was undertaken by compulsion and this can be read about on the legendspages (Note: a link will be established here) The following links will take you to those places of origin.
