I have most of my New England ancestry, but numbers dropped off in the 8th generation due to a Hessian ancestor and a stowaway from the Netherlands. I'd love to redo this counting just to see what percentage of my New England Great Migration ancestry I have found. I've got to figure out how to do that.

As it happens, I have a lot of my ancestors' names because I started out in 1977 and every one of my direct forebears so far discovered, were from within fifty miles of where I live today. <br /><br />My 9X great grandparents were married in 1620, in the Church I looked at out of my bedroom window when I was growing up and my parents still live in that same house.<br /><br />My passion is all about finding out about the lives of my ancestors, not just ticking off a list. <br /><br />If you want to visit the places in England, connected to your own ancestry, check out my website or drop me an email.<br /><br />Glynn<br />http://www.norfolk-tours.co.uk<br />glynn@norfolk-tours.co.uk<br /><br />Glynnhttp://www.norfolk-tours.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-31361800695570075352014-01-05T10:40:17.063-08:002014-01-05T10:40:17.063-08:00It's been over a year since I posted anything ...It's been over a year since I posted anything to my blog - hopefully I don't go as long before posting again...
