I wonder if Matthew will now trace his fathers line back ?  I think we only had the bits in his line about the boys who were killed in WW1 ?

Gateway ancestor ... now that's what I need !   All my house-maids, ag. lab's and miners ... how could they have got near to a royal blood line with sweat on their brow and dirt under their nails ?!

Lydart, I don't know about the miners, but the house maids were just the ones to get close to the royals.... ;D

My house-maids were not anywhere near Royal houses .... just large country estates in deepest Dorset.  My maternal grandmother's one claim to fame is that she once served tea to the future Edward VIII when she was housekeeper at Lords Cricket Ground .. said he was a bit of a philanderer !

My gateway ancestor married a fisherman.

Just a quick query.

We are now all using the term as if its something that has always been known, but how many of us here had heard the term "Gateway Ancestor" before this show?

I for one hadn't come across it yet, so I wonder if I had just missed something fundamental, or if this isn't necessarily a normal term in genealogical circles, such as this one, however useful it is?

I hadn't heard of it either, so I Googled it, and found it used a lot in American genealogy research.
Best wishes, Judy :-))
