Since summer is fast approaching (admittedly winter in the southern hemisphere) many of you will be planning vacations or trips of a genealogical nature, please be sure to share with us, your new found cousins, family history and research tips or plans. The lists tend to get a bit quiet this time of year but there are also many who can't travel or otherwise research outside the home. So...........we think it would be great to take this opportunity to post something. Who is your most elusive ancestor as in connection to this specific list? What are your goals? Do you have tips to share? A genealogy (non commercial!!) web site, perhaps? Writing and sharing a family story or tradition with us? Our eldest son gets wed on Saturday 18 June at Romsey Abbey and is the reason we have suspended lookups until the end of next week. Please feel free to send in dates of specific events and we will have a look as soon as we can. Great excitement in the Knight family and another branch to research on our tree.

Hi All, Happy summer (winter for me)...I can't complain as Brisbane never gets really cold. I'm tracing the following lines in Wiltshire: BRUNSDEN: Swindon/Chisledon/Ogbourne St George HANCOCK: Badbury HARPER: Wanborough VINES: Wanborough WOOLFORD: Chisledon BRUNSDEN is my maternal line, and the one I am most interested in. I have traced them back to Henry BRUNSDEN marrying Susannah BUCKERFIELD in Ogbourne St George in 1690. This is where things get interesting, as the PRs I accessed at the LDS were quiet thin for this period. I'd be very keen to hear from anyone who has a good collection of records for Ogbourne St George prior to 1700.
