Title: Different kind of lookup
Post by: wileman 121 on Wednesday 24 May 06 11:13 BST (UK)
hi i have recently been working on a book about my geneology to pass down to my descendants ie grandchildren and then they can pass it down ect

i have discoverd i am dierectly descended from the savage family of cheshire that owned many of the manors in cheshire around 1300-1600 i am going to add several pages about them in my book but i have been looking for paintings of any of the family members as it was quite common for a prestidgeous family to have a painting of themselves in them days  and any pictures and info on the old buildings that my ancestors owned
hope somoene can help i keep coming to a dead end jason  :)
