Steve's Family History

This is a blog to record my attempts to trace my family history. Maybe it will be of interest to other members of my family - especially those who are also researching their own family tree.

A Major Breakthrough!

I posted the information I have about George GREENHAM and his family on the ENG-SOMERSET mailing list. I had a lot of helpful replies, including one from Jan Walker who I had previously corresponded with about GOSLINGS in Gloucester, on my maternal side.

The real breakthrough though came from Don Groves who sent me a Genealogy report on the descendents of William GRINNAM, born in Norton Sub-Hamdon abt 1470, which he had received from "Dalesman". This gives approximately 18 generations worth of GREENHAMs from the 1500s to the present day, and includes George's family in the 11th Generation - so in one bound I'm back ten generations and 300 years!

Obviously I need to confirm as much of this document as possible but it is a flying start to this phase of my research. I will update my website with the information once I've finished typing all the information into Family Treemaker.
