yes  so do i   otherwise i will begin to doubt i ever found it... but it was definately there  but under a Robert Clarke of Augusta Virginia I think.....??

the reason the errors were being made  was because if you type in Robert Clarke Hinckley the drop down box gives Hinckley USA as well as UK and sometimes if your not careful your looking in the wrong area.  (not me I never do that  ;D ;D ;D)

The one that made me smile was a tree on Ancestry that had my father born in England but dying in America.

My father was the world's worst traveller - he wouldn't even consider setting foot on an aeroplane and the only boat my mother ever persuaded him to board was the Isle of Wight ferry.  ;D ;D I'm still trying to work out how he got to America.  ??? ???

Pocahontas - someone does claim to have Pocahontas in their tree - she is said to have married John Rolfe, came to England and her name was changed to Rebecca.  If all this is correct, and I have no reason to doubt it as I haven't done any research, then by a very roundabout way she is in my family tree!  The article was published in The Clock Tower which is the newsletter for the friends of Medway Archives in May 2007. http://www.foma-lsc.org/Downloads/Issue%206.pdf

Hi xin:  not that I know of.  As far as I'm aware all my Kendalls came from the West Riding (except me)

That rings a very distant bell - nothing to do with my tree but I'm sure I read or heard years ago that she was buried in Gravesend in Kent

No strictly a howler but Ive been researching my tree for over twenty years and it suddenly occured to me that I haven't got my full birth certificate.   ::)

Too scared to get it after all the time any money spent!!! Now that's a howler I dont want.  ;D
