Genealogy Wise is a new website which will be officially launched on Friday 17th July. It is effectively a dedicated social networking site for genealogists. It shares a lot of features in common with Facebook, the most important of which is that it is completely free. You get a profile page where you can list all your research interests, you can join the various groups, upload photos and videos and join in the discussions on the forums. There are groups for surnames, geographical areas, family history programs, genetic genealogy, and various other topics. If there isn't an existing group for your area of interest it is very easy to set one up. The website can be found here: _http://www.genealogywise.com_ (http://www.genealogywise.com) I've already set up lots of groups for some of my surnames of interest. There isn't yet a group for Kingsclere. As I have my name on so many groups perhaps someone else would like to do the honours on this one! Genealogy Wise already has almost 2000 members and there are over 1000 groups. The numbers seem to be growing exponentially by the day, and everyone who has used it so far has been very enthusiastic. I don't think it's ever going to replace mailing lists and Facebook but it will be a very useful complementary facility and will no doubt prove to be a good way of making new contacts. Have fun! Debbie Kennett

Hello mike, I'm sorry not to have explained! It's a bit complicated but here goes! As a matter of interest, I've been putting 'flesh on the bones', so to speak, with my family history, for 27 years and I've come a cross many marriages that were just in time and some that, obviously, weren't! The story is that I have been trying to find a man named a James ASLETT, for many, many years. He was, according to my grandmother's marriage certificate, her father (deceased) but, on her birth certificate (dated 1873), where the father's name should be, was a long, black line. That seemed ominous but not definite! I obtained the marriage certificate of James ASLETT to Harriet PARR, in 1864. James's father, it said, was a Peter ASLETT and the only Peter ASLETT, I was able to find, was one on the IGI and the same one on the censuses. He, apparently, came from Farnham, and married a Hannah JEFFERY, on the 7th July 1823, at Kingsclere, Hampshire (from the IGI on-line). Hannah JEFFERY's parents, also, came from Kingsclere so I thought it wouldn't hurt to join the group and ask questions. None of this proved that this Peter was my ancestor but it was somewhere to start. I asked my question and a Dorothy Jones (I hope she doesn't mind my telling her name!) gave me a great deal of help and came up with the 1871 census, which showed Harriet ASLETT (nee Parr - checked) as a widow, and, then, I found I already had a copy of the same document, which I'd forgotten. It's quite obvious that, if James died in 1866, my grandmother, born in 1873, just couldn't be his daughter. Though my great grandmother married James ASLETT, he is not, unfortunately, an ancestor of mine - any more than the man she married many years later, in 1876. Neither of these can I claim a relationship with and it would be misleading to do so. There were no other names of possible fathers and if there were it would be too difficult and dangerous to pick one at random, as the possible father - I don't want someone else's ancestors! So you see, neither I nor my grandmother, actually, have a Kingsclere connection, which is a great pity because in the short time I joined, I was surprised at how more like family it felt (from the emails, I read!) than a Family History mailing list. Harriet ASLETT did remarry, as I said, but not until 1876, when she married an Alfred Powell, and went to live in Wales. Well, about the time I found all this information, I was rushed into hospital to have a very serious operation, and it took me a long while to recover (well over a year). When I, finally, did get better, I'd lost interest in my family history and I didn't want to pick it up again, so got on with other things and completely forgot I'd ever found the marriage certificate and the census. About three weeks ago, I decided, at last, to start again and picked up James and Harriet's marriage certificate, which was a surprise because, as I said, I'd forgotten I'd got it. This led to me joining the group. It's a pity because of the research, little as it may have been, that I did and the excitement I felt at believing that, at last, I'd found my great grandfather - and more! I hope that explains the situation but I don't know how clear I've made it or how unintelligible! - the problem was that I had a senior moment, of which I seem to be getting more just lately! Oh, if you'd like to see just a little of what I have done, to date, you could visit my website - at http://www.jwnewport.co.uk/ It's nowhere near finished and may never be during my lifetime but, at least, I've started again! All the best and kindest regards to all on the list - oh, and my grateful thanks to Dorothy!

Hello Barbara, I'm sorry but this is going to be the shortest membership ever seen! I joined the list because I had found, after many, many years, my grandmother's father and his parents and his wife's parents - and they all came from Kingsclere. I was very pleased until I realised that, from the birth certificate, my grandmother was, obviously, illegitimate - her mother had married the man but her wasn't the father of her child and so, her father I had started to trace back with enthusiasm, was not her father! That line now comes to a full stop, which is such a pity. I was going to ask so many questions but, unfortunately, there's no point now as he's not my ancestor. It does seem a very friendly group and I would have been pleased to join in but I must, now, move on to other ancestors. Let's hope I come across a few from Kingsclere! Thanks again for your kindness and my apologies for having to unsubscribe (which I will do shortly) but I'm sure you'll understand. Kindest regards and my best to everyone, John

_____ BURIALS QUESTION: Were early burials (ca. 1538-1700), as recorded in St. Mary's register, necessarily ALWAYS done on the church's open grounds? Were later burials done over the TOPS of the old ones? Were burials ever merely on one's own FARMSTEAD? I saw on the History Channel how that in at least one Irish city's church, older burials, 1370-1600, were done as entombments in the CHURCH'S BASEMENT of sorts. Caskets and corpses have survived in varying degrees of dry rot and mummification. _____ Thomas Osmond, buried 31 Oct 1544, Kingsclere, Hampshire [Will authored 21 Oct. 1542, Reading, Berkshire] Cathey, buried ?
