Surnames: Goldfinch, Skinner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XOZ.2ACEB/3.4 Message Board Post: Hi, Just joined this site so bear with me. Henry b Abt 1695 wed Martha Skinner b Abt 1700, wed 2 Oct 1718 in Thanet St Lawrence Ramsgate, Kent, England. Son John b 9 April 1727 d Abt 1758. He is as far back I can get but that is 10 generations so I'm not too miffed. I'm directly convict stock & have been trying to do this since I was 12ish. Can you believe my gr grandmother lived in the same town as me & I never even knew she existed till she died. My father kept in contact with her all those years & never took us to meet her, strange mob. Any info from anyone would be appreciated. Happy junting from [email protected]
