This Blog will talk about researching my English ancestors from Canada but also the ancestors of our son in law whose families stretch back far into Colonial French Canada. My one name study of Blake and of Pincombe also dominate my blog these days.

Wiki Tree
Another short conference and a speaker on Wiki Tree. I decided to become a contributing member of Wiki Tree as yet another place to add my research. I will enter in each individual singly and not upload a gedcom. I found Charles Butt listed by another member and have now added his date of burial to his profile. I can add my tree in at this point and that will let me see if anyone else has added material on any of my other ancestors. As the only grandchildren of our four grandparents (my siblings and I) I am back to great grandparent's children before I start to meet potential cousins with the most recent common ancestors those eight great grandparents. It has made it much more difficult to work with DNA but easier to align my families back into the 1800s as all of my grandparents were born between 1872 and 1886 and all their dates of births, marriages and deaths are known to me with accurate registrations. Having my starting point in the 1800s has made the task of researching my lines considerably easier although I can say that I do have brickwalls and these are not yet positively broken down with two of my great grandparents. The work that I have done looks good but the DNA matches proving these suppositions would be such a great addition,.
