MUNN Family (Luton)
« on: Wednesday 29 July 09 15:57 BST (UK) »
Hi all

I started researching my family tree yesterday and had a LOT of luck, managing to pin down one part of the tree as far back as the 1620's (where we were still in bedfordshire, oddly); however where I'm having a lot of trouble is my paternal grandfathers parents - my father died in 1984 and I can't contact my grandfather for info, so was hoping that someone else could help =)

I have photographs of my family, and also a GEDCOM file of the tree if that would help anyone.

I got *very* lucky and managed to come across a semi-famous relative in the early 1800s who is pretty well documented, and back from there were some other people with the same relative who were able to share their info - between us we managed to get to a confirmed birth/death/full name/spouse/children in 1643, and we know his father's name but not a lot else. That's just one tiny branch though, everywhere else I'm really stuck; and my brother is convinced we're descended from Mary Queen Of Scots so I'm pretty keen to disprove that if it's wrong!


Edit: Also the 1643 dude emigrated to USA and died there so he has some lovely documents I'm tryng to track down too =D   Will add the GEDCOM when I work out how to attatch.

Hello smunn02 and welcome to RootsChat

The etiquette here is that we do not post information on the living (due to identity theft, privacyall of the usual reasons)

There is a pM system for those details, but you need to have made 3 posts before you can use the system

The mods may remove some information - but we will see if we can find Arthur's parents for a start

I think you need  Arthur Roland's marriage or birth cert to be certain of parentage-as even if this looks the most likely marriage - there are other possibilities

certificates can be ordered online (£7 from GRO) we should then be able to trace further back
