I have a very complicated pedigree, my mother was born a Williams to a long-established family in Minehead, Somerset. Leading my brother and me to believe she was an only child. Only in the late 2000s did I find out that this was not the case and over 10 years and one massive extended tree later, I am now an addict, and still on the hunt.
Having moved around the UK significantly, I have unwittingly walked in the footsteps of many of my ancestors.

My father's family, whom I thought were from Lancashire, actually originated in the Midlands on his father's side and Hexham/Sunderland/Ireland, (Via Cumbria and London) on his mother's.

This has made piecing the bits together interesting and has produced quite a few pleasant surprises.

My trees cover primarily:
Broughton, Forster, Fitzgerald on my side.
Bulmer, & Lapping on my husband's side
Waghorn for my friend.
