Hello Everyone,

My MORTON branch has all been located in Durham and the research has gone back into the middle 1700's.  They were all coal miners.  My Great Grandfather came to the the USA c1860.  He fought in the Civil War and then made his living as a coal miner.  Interesting tidbit, my Grandfather was also a coal miner along with all of his sons.  His daughter (my Mother) met my Dad and when she found out he WASN'T a coal miner, she was interested in him.  Needless to say, they got married..............

Annette ;D

Hello Ruskie,

I am researching in Somerset, Shropshire, Cheshire, Durham (where I recently came into contact with 3rd cousins!), and Wales.  I have not been able to narrow down the Wales branch as of yet, but I am working on it.

Warmly,
Annette ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hello, I thought I would introduce myself.  I live in the United States, but I can trace four branches to England and one to Wales.  My Mother's people were all coal miners and my Father's were into farming.  I have been doing genealogy research for about 7 years.  Sometimes it gets frustrating, but there are other times that I make an incredible discovery.  It's a pastime of highs and sometimes lows.  I love history and I guess that carries over into my family history research.  Well, that's all for now........ ;)
