Ancestors: Misconceptions and Paradoxes

The following links are provided because they were all used with varying degrees of success to provide information on our ancestors. This is by no means an exhaustive list. Also, in addition, there can be no substitute for intuitive use of search engines. In searching bear in mind that names have been spelled in numerous ways in the past and could have been transcribed differently.  For example, Wilfred Pears is variously referred to as Winfred, Wilford and Wilfrid in documents. Warwick Dashwood Bussell was variously referred to as Deskwood, Russell and Coghlan had been referenced as Goghlan and Coghtan. So if you don't find who you are looking for immediately be inventive and try out all kinds of variations on the spelling of names.
