hi, im Dean
im not sure if im in the right place or asking the right questions, if so, sorry.

im looking into doing a family tree and finding out as much as i can about my family, im always told im about the 6th generation to work on the local farms and a few google searches throws up people with the right surnames that work on farms, but in trouth i dont know where to start with finding out if im related, how and what they did etc...

im looking to find out about the surnames 'Potter' and 'Rowland' in the ramsey/wrabness area of essex

any help on where to look would be great.
Thanks, Dean



Hi Dean

Im Gary Porter and we have traced our ancestors back to Wrabness Essex
and apparently they are still there now and still farming. My side of the family moved to London seeking work in the Docking Industry.

I'm quite new to this family tree exploration but finding it awfully interesting.

All The Best
Gary
