This page contains a set of links to files on ancestral surnames that I am researching. It is not a list of the surnames that appear on this web site. Such a list would be much, MUCH longer.

Each link will contain one or (frequently) more of the following files or information:

• Line file: A chart of my direct line with that surname, tracing my ancestry from the oldest ancestor of that surname to the most recent and then, in most cases, onto myself via subsequent surnames (however you will need to refer to specific surname charts for the most recent details. Thus while my Eastes ancestors married into the King, Back and then Tosh families, updates to those families are not present in the Eastes charts). The chart contains as much detail as I have been able to find on these ancestors and has in addition to my own direct ancestors, their siblings and nieces/nephews, where such information is to hand. Contains full references.
• Tree file: A chart containing as many descendents of my most distant ancestor with this surname as I can find. This chart contains less detail then the corresponding Line file and sometimes abbreviated references.
• Other Researchers: A list of other people researching this surname, along with their areas of interest. Some are related, others are not.
• The family story: An extensive article covering the family history of the family, both my own direct line and also side-lines. A printed version, containing photographs, certificates etc is available for the cost of printing and postage.
• Relevant web links: A non-comprehensive listing of web pages that have some bearing on the family, either containing branches of this family or having geographical, cultural or historical connections. Some url's for trees of unrelated occurances of the surname may also be included.
• Other information: Just what it says. :)

At some stage in the (distant) future I hope to add in maps showing the area(s) where each family lived and migrated to. The "Family Story" is currently only available for the Neeves family. At some stage I also hope to put up any interesting biographical information on individuals belonging to each tree (tho' not limited to my own ancestors).

Any further information on any of the people listed in the above files would be gratefully received.

Where only the Line file is present, the link will go directly to that file. Where only one generation is known for a particular surname (ie: "lost wives"), only that generation is given in the file, such files are denoted by a "(P)" below, signifying they are "point files". Hopefully this status is only temporary. *grin*

Please note that all dates are in English format, that is: day/month/year. Some dates using the old English (Julian) calendar are expressed in the format: day/month/year1-year2. This is because until 1752 the English calendar year started on 'Lady Day', 25th March. A date in January would thus be expressed as 15/1/1729-1730. 1752 was also a shortened year. The changeover to the present day calendar occured earlier in many other countries - especially those with a Catholic tradition (the present day calendar was devised for Pope Gregory, so it's acceptance in protestant countries was somewhat delayed).
