Hello, and welcome to my genealogy homepage !

This website highlights the research I have done on
the history of my family lines.   You will find  a wide variety of material
here to browse on my ancestors which include British Royalty, Mayflower
connections and a number of Quaker ancestors. Many of my pages show extended family lines,
researchers, books and other useful information.
I have 2 confirmed gateway ancestors : Robert Abell and Marie Lawrence.

Please see the references section below on how to interpret
the different symbols on my pages.

This website contains many extended families and is
designed to be viewed on a computer monitor, laptop or tablet.

DNA Research

All of my family members have tested with Ancestry.com.  I have also tested with 23andMe and yDNA with FamilyTree DNA.  A number of my surname pages show the DNA research I have done on that line as well as where matches connect to the different branches.  I have made several exciting discoveries on several of my lines using DNA tools.  Some recent findings include verifying connections on the Hawk and Young surnames.
