This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not been added yet.
Photos of individuals can be found in their Scrapbooks. To see who has them click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding feature pages containing an improved presentation of notes, photos and links. These are slowly being added and modified so please check every few weeks.
NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.
Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.
I still have a lot of data and feature pages to add, and many of the notes need tidying up but any new information is welcome. If you find any errors or would like to update your line please let me know. Bean
