Dear List,
I just discovered rootschat, looks like a wonderful resource.
The toughest problem in my tree are ancestors Thomas Hanbury (b about 1745, d. 1819 in Wolvesnewton, Mons.) He married Mary Hetherton in 1772 in Llansoy. I cannot find anything about their origin. There are various family rumors of links to the Pontypool family, but I have not been able to prove or disprove such a claim. Robin Thompson, FRS, a well known Canadian entomologist, diligently worked on this family (he is another descendant) in the 1930’s and reached no clear conclusion. I’d be most appreciative of any tips!)
Cheers, Dave
