This project focuses on the multitude of families linked to my great grandparents along all their ancestral lines maternal and paternal. Each ancestor has a short biographical sketch, a tree of their extended family, photos, letters, maps and any DNA proof found.
I also write more general tales musing about the stories I find.
For those with access there is a family tree on ancestry.
This is a work in progress…
- The Upsdell family of Deptford and Peckham – a glimpse into a community of Ship builders
- The tale of Homestall Farm – the Chambers family of Peckham Rye (Camberwell, London)
- Needle in a haystack – the elusive Sarah Ann Chambers (1781-1844)
- The children of Henry Harris (1772 – 1832) – the benefits of sharing DNA
