About

Welcome to my Family Tree Project blog. As well as blogging about my ancestors, their occupations, and places they lived; I’ll also write about the great online resources available to us Family Historians.

Some of the main surnames in my family include: BOTTOMLEY, BROWN, HAVENITH, MAGERMANS, SARIS, WINTERTON; as well as many others.

So far, I've found ancestors in England, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

In time I hope to write about as many ancestors as possible – while, of course, respecting the privacy of relatives that are alive and kicking. It's important to note that whatever I write will be based on what I knew at the time: about the person and about the times / situation they lived in.

There are already some people and places that I find particularly interesting and I’m looking forward to finding out more about them as I write blog posts dedicated to them.

As I find history to be an important resource to understanding the life and times of our ancestors - even the ones so far back we can't put a name to them; I'll also be writing about history books and events that are of interest.

When reviewing website usability, I use the System Usability Scale. More information on this can be found here.

If you have any questions, advice, or suggestions; please let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading,
