Anyone who sets out to trace their ancestors must be extremely naive at best and plain stupid at worst if they they truly believe they will not come across some 'dodgy' situations and facts. I know that my grandfather, Stephen BULL b Andover 1859, was on the run from something. He was certainly a dodgy character and never gave accurate details of himself. Made it very difficult to track him back thru time. My dad's sister was an illegitimate half sister. I was born in November, mum and dad married in September the same year. I cannot find a marriage for my mum's parents. If it wasn't for the summary convictions and removal orders going back to c17th. I would not have sorted out my BULL ancestry at all. What should I do? Leave their names off the family tree? I think that it's all a bloody big hoot. Perhaps we should have a "Confessions" session to post our naughty ancestors. On the other hand, maybe great-grandma did a favour to pay off the back rent and me great-granddad isn't who I thought it was. DNA testing should let a few cats out of the bag - straight into the chicken coop. Ernie Bull Bristol

Seamus ...(Tout á fait Chevalier ) All mail scanned with Norton's 2004 updated Why shaking the family tree can be bad for your health By Elizabeth Day (Filed: 17/04/2005) Genealogists want psychotherapy to be made available for people who stumble across unpleasant discoveries while researching their family history. The Society of Genealogists is one of several organisations concerned that amateur historians are not sufficiently prepared for the secrets they might uncover in their family records, and could need counselling to help them through the emotional process. Else Churchill, a genealogy officer at the society, said: "People can be dealing with many serious things - from discovering your ancestor was a rapist who was deported to Australia to finding out you are adopted. Burying secrets causes problems and you have to be incredibly sensitive when dealing with such issues. "Having trained counsellors on hand could help. My job as a genealogist ends when I have put the whats and the whos together, but there needs to be a continued support." Many of Britain's four million amateur genealogists will end up discovering illegitimacy, bigamy, adoption and previously unknown relatives in the course of their research. Diane Mattinson, 48, an office manager from Bicester, Oxfordshire, discovered that her great-grandfather, James Phillips, had never married her great-grandmother, Elizabeth. "It was a bombshell," said Mrs Mattinson. "I had my family to support me and to talk things over with, but some people don't have that. For people who find out they have half-brothers or sisters or things like that, counselling would be a good idea." Another amateur genealogist, who did not wish to be named, found that when she inspected a copy of her birth certificate at the Public Records Office, the man she believed to be her uncle was, in fact, her father. He was now dead, she said, but "my cousins are actually my half-brothers and sisters. It was a huge shock. I would have welcomed counselling". Sally Angel, the media and strategy director of Firebird, an archive research agency, said that she was now training as a psychotherapist in order to help clients to deal with such discoveries. "Family history is not just about gathering information. Underneath the research, there's a bunch of moral, ethical, social and psychological issues related to how you see yourself." Family history has become an increasingly popular pursuit in recent years, aided by the publication of census returns on the internet and the proliferation of television genealogy programmes. BBC2's Who Do You Think You Are?, which traced the family trees of famous people including the actress Amanda Redman and the naturalist Bill Oddie. Miss Redman was shown in tears after discovering that her uncle was illegitimate, while Mr Oddie's research revealed a sister who died soon after birth. There are those, however, who might be disappointed if they fail to find some dark secret. Last year, a survey conducted by 1837online.com, a genealogical website, found that 10 per cent of amateur historians hope to unearth a family skeleton _______________________________________________ Fogies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.iinet.net.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fogies X

Tell us about it. Our family records have turned up the Captain of the USS Cumberland when she was sunk by the Confederate Merrimac on the one hand, and Alphonse 'Scarface' Capone on the other. Not direct ancestors, but 'off to the side'. One we did have was a woman who scalped the Indians in the late 1600's....they'd kidnapped her and murdered her baby and took her up the Ohio River for over 1000 miles before she made her escape. She took the scalps so gossips in her home town would not wag their tongues about her going 'willingly'. Others from the same era were some of the fiercest 'fire and brimstone' preachers this nation has ever produced. Then there were the ones who were officers in Quantrill's Raiders, a Confederate outfit in the War Between the States. So go figure. Oh yeah, we had lots of Mormons too. One book we found traces some of us directly to some 'Battle Memorial' in the south of England where Duke William of Normandy came ashore in 1066. the Castletons

Hi Listers I've just discovered on the 1881 census that an ancestor (George MAY) was working at Corhampton House as a farm bailiff. I realise this might be a tall order but I wondered if anyone familiar with the area could tell me if there was any way of working out which of the residents of Corhampton would have worked with George on the Corhampton House farm? The census - RG11/1237 Folio 5 Pages 3, 4 & 5 - lists 2 'cottages' next to Corhampton House housing the bailiff and the coachman, who obviously worked for Corhampton House. However, it's not obvious (to me anyway) which of the residents of the neighbouring dwellings (such as 'Corhampton Lane Cottages', other cottages in Corhampton, Stains Cottage and 'cottages in Corhampton Yard') who were ag labourers etc. would have worked for Corhampton House. Does anyone have any ideas. Also - does anyone know if Corhampton House still exists? Many thanks Lindsay Eaton Wellington New Zealand
