Website updated 1 October 2015

Last night I updated the website.  Lots of new information.

Laterly I have been focusing on attempting to find where the Greathead's originated from, so have been investigating the families into which they married.  Many cross marriages with the Whitelock's from Swaledale.

They say we should hatch, match and dispatch all our entries, so the earlier part of the year I was doing just that.  Adding dates of death or at least years of death

Next month I will continue to investigate wills and other data I collected a while ago.  Re-looking at this information, knowing what I now know, can make me look at it in a completely different light and make much more sense of it.

Website updated 1 September 2015

Once again the website has been updated.  I am continually delighted to receive emails with information from people who so willingly share details about their branches of the family. 

It is difficult sometimes to get modern relationships correct and complete and of course details on living people stay on my personal database.  But these are so essential, as collecting this sort of information once they have died is more complicated!!!

So keep the information coming please.

I am also delighted to announce I took a Family Finder DNA and the results are now back and will I hope be the beginnings of other females going down this route to see if we can solve some mysteries.  One lady in Australia has a Family Finder kit winging it's way to her as I write. Thanks Jennifer. I have one YDNA set of results also and hope to persuade another Greathead male on Monday.

So if you are interested in helping to discover whether the various Greathead branches we have already documented come from the same root stock please let me know.  The Guild are selling YDNA kits for £80 and FF DNA kits for £60.

I live in hope............

Just updated the website.  Lots of new data please see recent updates.

Hope maybe to hear from lots of you over the next few weeks, so I might include your information on next update 

Website updated - 1 July 2015

Website updated and lots of new information and pictures to be found on the website, do explore.  Start looking at Recent updates this will give you a clue to the work I have been doing this last month.

Exciting news I have just taken a Family Finder DNA test and hopefully when I get the results back I will be able to explore new angles.

I hope this now enthuses some men and women to offer to take the simple test.  The cost through the Guild of One-Name Studies who use Family Tree DNA is £80 for YDNA test and £60 for the Family Finder DNA test.  Men can only take the YDNA test but both men and women can take the Family Finder test.

Come on lets break down some of those brick walls and confirm some relationships.  You can only do so much with paper trails.  Find more details or write to me
