Looking back through the family trees, an important mark is the case concerning our great grandmothers from our four trees
Each of the four had their own journey, and in many cases we were only a small part of their individual history and kegacy.
In memory of my foir great-grandmothers:
Although I do not share the same surname as my
great grandmothers named BAKER, LEWIS, MCGEE and SMITH,
I recognize my small part in the family history of these names.
Looking back it is an interesting journey tracing their parents and sibling through the pages of time. They and their siblings have travelled far and wide From places in Kent, London, Dorset,
Canada, Australia and elsewhere.

Re the BEER name in Kent, any connection to one James BEER & Louise ZELLEY. Louise was from Tiverton, Devon.

Your quote - "And more (there are always more)"
hits the nail on the head.

When my grand-daughter was born she had 4 Gt.Grandmas and 1 Gt.Grandpa still alive. Three of the Gt.Grandmas died at 92, 96 and 101 respectively. The other two died in their 80's.
Of course they all came from good British stock !

I have found 3 great grand mothers - Fairbairn, Evans, and McCallum.
And of course the matching 3 great grandfathers - Thompson, Burrow and Stephens
My mother appears to have been illegitimate and her fathers name is not on her original BC.

All but one of my Great Grandparents were born in the 1890s so they haven't been difficult to trace. It's weird though, when I look at parts of my family tree that my grandad's elder brother could have had a GG Grandmother if she'd lived to 83.
My Great Grandmothers lived to the ripe old ages of 84, 88, 88 and 92

I've got masses of Jones lines - I think 10 or 11  Would anyone like them - free to a good home Gadget
My closest Jones connection is a third cousin, but my spose has scores of Jones connections past & present in the region of Wrexham, North Wales. Gosh there is even a Jones marrying a Jones (from different branches).
One of my great grandmothers is a London born Smith,
Well, when it comes to a London Smith, I'm lost at the starting gate, add Lewis from London and my head is spinning. Then
add the Phillips of Warwickshire branches and it's time to go back to the starting gate for another run at picking up the overlooked leaves waiting to be found somewhere along
the "genealogy highway" not very far from the mighty
"forest of family trees".
So, let's talk about the great great grandmother's and their siblings' branches.
A few names for me to ponder would be Bellamy of Wyke Regis,
Lovell of East Fleet, and Susannah Vallens aka Valence or Vallance of Wyke Reis - Weymouth, and others in different locations.

Stuck with John Jones in Wales? Join the club!

3 of my 4 grandparents were Williams, but as far as great grandmothers go, I've got: Jones, Davies Williams and Wynne.
Going back another generation is interesting:
Molineux, Turnor, Rees, Williams, Williams, Jones, Jones, Jones.
Despite the names of the first 2, all born in Wales.
