WDYTYA series 4 # 7 Matthew Pinsent

[ludovica]

Great programme, the BBC definitely saved the best til last. Fascinating family history - all of the programmes in this series seem to have concentrated more on what was happening at the time, not just a list of names and dates. Loved it.

Ludovicia - please tell us about your gateway ancestor and how you found them. I must have missed the story back in April - is there a link to another thread?

Cheers

Ruby

H?i Ruby no I haven't really gone into much detail on here as far as I recall. Perhaps I will sometime soon though if anyone is interested.

Yes please sometime, Ludovica, I would be really interested. All my lot were boilermakers, iron moulders or agricultural labourers with the odd brickmaker or quarryman thrown in. Be nice to know how the other half lives!

According to his tree,God is his 1st.cousin 19X removed...or am I wrong.
My gateway ancestor was the last High Sheriff of Shropshire which took me back to the 1300's.Am now looking for God.

Lol, It'd be a few more "greats" than that.  About "50x greatgrand" will only take you back to around about the Sack of Rome

According to my family tree software, Charlemagne is my greatx40 grandfather. So the God claim would be a good bit further back.

Never was any good at sums.
