Hi Zoe

Mel told me yesterday you were cousins!  We've been trying to figure out the possible Mary Hemming connection for a little while. Thanks for the pic. I have another which I'll try to insert.....

I'm told all the headstones were made of a soft stone that does not wear well, making many of them very hard to read. Note to self: ensure own headstone made of very durable material so future generations who want to know all about me because I was either rich and famous or because I've successfully passed down a love of history can read it!

Hi Zoe

No, that appears to be a different Mary Hemmings - born/died in Cropthorne, whereas mine was, as far as I can tell, both born and died in Tysoe. Just taking another look..... according to the IGI the Mary you mention died at the age of 2, so I doubt you'll find a marraige record.

Hi! Thanks for your input everyone. I found a chart, and came to the conclusion that they are seventh cousins. The chart really helps to make sense of it all!

I just thought I'd add my 2 cents worth . I haven't tried the other sites mentioned yet, but I have found Genes Reunited simple to use in terms of searching other's family trees etc. Last Sunday I started researching my husband's family tree, knowing only his father and grandfather's names and dates of death and nothing else. Within 4 hours I had his great grandmother's family line back to 1400's France, and within 3 days had his great grandfather's line back to 1640. A large part of this was helped by what I found on GR, and the help of the people I contacted that way. Yes, I had to subscribe to contact them. But, to me, it was worth it, as I got a lot of data that has set me off in the right direction and given me a big boost in this whole genes researching.

Of course, most of you are far, far more experienced than I, and would know better what works, and many of you I'm sure have helped others through this forum etc. However, I thought it only fair to have at least one favorable comment for Genes Reunited, as I have found them very useful.
