CASWELL Family

[Justin Caswell]

Hi Justin,

There are many good suggestions if you are just starting out on the beginners forum here:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,47.0.html

The first thing to do is make a note of all of the details you DO know like your parents names (especially middle names) and your mother's maiden name and as much as you know about your grandparents.

A good start can be made at freeBMD here to fill in some blanks and work out where to go forward:

Also, don't hesitate to post questions here on Rootschat. Everyone here are keen to help.

Good luck in your quest - but be warned, it is VERY addictive.  :)

The type of questions its asking is quite confusing ha. Like spouse surname all that. I was told that a story from a mtt Caswell posted in 1999 was the quest that confirmed ALL caswell last name to be from there. Not sure if this is true or not. Water cress was only thing that really made that guy stop his quest . This is quite addicting but I hit dead  after dead end. I have my father my grandpa's and great grandpa's name.

Hi Justin,

This sounds like a perfect challenge for Rootschat. 

I would suggest you post a new question in Beginners telling us all you know (but nothing about living people of course). We will need as much as you know about each person including name, place and date of birth if possible.

If you do decide to post a question, please post a link to it here so we can come over and help too.

By the way - I think the man you are talking about is Mike Caswell and he is still very active in Caswell research. He has been gathering Caswell data for many years (long before I started my quest). He is actually giving me a welcome hand right now with my Dorset Caswells.

Good luck.

Paul
