Hello Andy - you said you had traced a direct line of 100 generations which, of itself, is a mammoth achievement but, if so, what exactly is daunting if the tracing is already carried out? I would be more inclined to average out a generation as 20years maximum in view of life expectancy in by gone days - and my word, you are talking of long by gone whatever their occupation.

With my ancestors tending towards the "Ag Lab" category I shall be very lucky to manage a dozen or so. How marvellous to have so much source material at one's disposal.
