I had great help in RootsChat for clearing a brick wall for our Fraser family. I now am looking for help please to chart my Hardes/Hards roots in the Kilconquhar, Fife area.
Background:- Some years back there was a Hards Family Society in England who had created a database of the Hards/ Hardes/Hardres etc families that had their main roots in Kent - all the way along the lower south of England. They used to provide A3 paper family charts to subscribers. I have 5 pages of my branch of the huge tree. There were many branches (over 100 it seems). That Society stopped when the managers passed away and, it seems, a few family members were left with some records. The person I got my paper charts from said she had a corrupt database of her fathers which I offered to try and resurrect for her. I managed to salvage a list of names and some data which I copied to a Excel spreadsheet for easy sorting etc. (4500 names)
Together with a cousin here in Australia we are trying to piece together some of the tree, and we have created a private FaceBook group called Hards Family Genealogy Group.
One of the family groups of Hardes in the spreadsheet come from Fife (Kilconquhar area) and I'm hoping that someone in this RootsChat group can help me piece together the tree structure of this small group. I have managed only to identify a few parent child relationships as you can see from the one attachment. Looking at Scotland's People I see there are more Hardes that my spreadsheet doesn't include.
FamilySearch have most of the names I have in the spreadsheet but with no links to any other family members. I have managed to piece together using the FS records the image of the attached piece of the tree.
I would love to hear from anyone who can help
