I've got to 1550 with my fathers line ... only 4,398,500 years to go !   At about 3.5 generations per year, thats only 15,394,750 more BMD's to locate ! 

Better get to it ...

I'm going to Monkey World in Stoke soon - let me know if you want me to look up any info in the records....  Grin
We must all have a few monkeys hanging from our family trees, anyone who has prehensile feet wouldn't have to look too far back, lol!  Wink

I wish I had one

To go back to 1550 you obviously haven't got any in Ireland in that line.  In my Cumberland line I have managed to get back to c1610, but they all lived in a small hamlet and inter-married.  My Irish line only goes back to 1854-56 as the Rooney surname is like looking for a needle in a haystack due to me not knowing the county they originated from.

Yorklass I think you should print that and put in one of your research folders for the descendants to find in years to come.

I can guarantee they wont be expecting it ;P

As long as they don't think it's your gt gt grandmother, Matt!

Who knows, in 50 years time they might be able to link her DNA with someone!

I've been trying to think who she looks like......

I'm sure I know who you mean Lydart, but looking at this close-up, I think the beard's not quite right.....
