I have actually got a lot more in certain areas... up to 12th and on in some
BUT assessing where I am in general - with two lines that were illegitimate and untraceable.
I have 88 5th verified GG's
at least mostly verified.. am in the throes of double double triple checking and certificating..
If I can do that up to 6th then I will be content with what I have got for the kids to see :)
But I am Happy and that is what matters. :)

That's an impressive number!
I'm a little short of your research. I know 78 5xG Grandparents, although some are only known by their given names.
It's probably because the illegitimacies are a little closer to home. ;D
I have, though, been lucky with some illegitimacies. There are a couple of Bastardy Bonds, and one where the father was named on the marriage certificate, even though he had cleared off 20 years earlier.

Oh I would love that ---- I haven't got too many 'Important' illegitimates.. (gosh that sounds awful --) maybe I mean direct line..
I have my Charles who we manage to find a baptism for in Brixworth on here years ago and then nada... BUT bless him he carried a pic of his Mother around and he shared his home with his sister - so I know he had links with the family .. but NO luck with a Bastardy Bond.... so even though I managed to trace an 87% (ha ha ) link for his Mother.. I have nothing at all for his Father .. apart from guessessssss.
Then there is my Fred who I am never going to conclusively prove he belongs to JRP as I had hoped and the DNA ... results are making me even more doubtful on that one.. :( such a niggle..
I also have Walter.. who's Mummy was a little wayward... with no Daddy named for any of her 4 children.. and NO Bastardy bonds.. but I have an awful feeling with that one.. frightening really.... well its more than a feeling - the findings so far - I keep filing... :( :(
So I am lucky really those are the ones I would love to find.. but the 3- 27th cousins are not too worrying.
::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
