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. |
