The only connection I have is all of my "Hart" ancestors lived there. The more I research them and all the little towns and villages they lived in the more I want to visit England. I received my new passport in the mail this week so that is a start! Nice to meet you. June<< Good morning June, I am fairly new to discovering my UK connections as well. Despite having several family names that most likely trace back to this region, the only one I am generally sure of are my Earps in Nottingham/Derby. :) My own surname is Watts, and of course that name does originate in the UK, but that family line is very likely Native American, which throws a bit of a monkey wrench into my research!
