Opis

The families of the ladies who married into my family have always intrigued me. From the five sisters, all leading ladies on the stage. The championship Ballroom Dancer. Those who made and lost a fortune. We have the military men, dating from the Anglo/Norman invasion of Ireland, the English Civil War through to WW2. Our Scottish branch goes back to the 16th century border rievers who terrorised the borderlands. Not forgetting those brave family members who crossed America by wagon train and helped in the founding of the states of Iowa and Utah.Our female family histories are often overlooked which is a pity because you then miss out on so many fascinating stories that help to enrich your ancestral heritage.
