Family History

I am a mixture of Scottish and Welsh Grandfathers, and English Grandmothers:  just think, if I had been good enough I could have played Rugby for any of the mainland countries:  as it is, I can gain some pleasure from most Six Nations Seasons, and it also gives me, I hope, a balanced view of devolution in the U.K.

The surnames I have researched so far are listed below: more detail is available on those with links, and some of the others have a short summary on the Other Families page.
