Congratulations

I am beginning to get quite an strong affinity with our William and Kate.

I organised a Greathead gathering in 2011 and they decided to get married the day before.

Tomorrow is my birthday and today Kate gave birth to a baby boy. Congratulations to all three of them.

The next Greathead gathering is due for 14 June 2014.  I wonder what occassion they will choose to celebrate on 13 June 2014?  Spooky eh

Website updated - 1 July 2013

This update includes lots of Pennsylvania and Manchester updated records.  Charts 8 and 28 have also been updated.

Find my past included some new Lincolnshire parish records.  I have added some Lincolnshire burials.

Following an email regarding Lauretta Greathead also known as Lauretta Groskop.  A TV programme stated that Lauretta married Robert Groskop and was the grandmother of a previous Blue Peter presenter.  I have proved the link, but it would seem that Lauretta maybe the niece of Robert.  Maybe however she was adopted and on official records kept the name of Greathead.  Anyone know anything different!!!!

Website updated - 1 June 2013

Just updated the website.  You will notice a few changes.  I now have drop down boxes on the menu bar of the main pages.  I am not quite happy with how these look and will try to fix better for next month, but they do work.  Also on the narratives you will notice a blue square box which changes to orange when you put the curser on it.  Do click this box and you will discover a family pedigree, the names are hyperlinked. 

Hope you find these changes and the new data fun, maybe you have some more to add, love to hear from you

Website updated 1 May 2013

Lots of additional information, extra stories and sources added.  Can you tell me some amazing stories or break down a brickwall? 
I have spent much of the month identifying spouses, finding names where previously I just knew a marriage had taken place.  Still lots to identify
