Thanks for the link to the Wing web site. Very interesting stuff there! Sometimes I doubt myself when I haven't worked on a branch for a long time but what I have is what is there so I can quit wondering if I have a mistake. And the history was very interesting. My ancestors were better people than I am. I hesitate to drive 6 miles to church in a snow storm and so many of my ancestors moved to another country and/or crossed an ocean for their beliefs. I have a lot of ministers in my family.
Now that I'm back farther than I intended to go, I've found a good share of my family came from Yorkshire. Small world.
