Hi Folks, I am quite new to this game and did not think there were soooo many Winns and their variants and we are allll over the place. I have pushed back my Winn line to the father (Thomas, birth unknown) of a William Wynne born in 1751.
William Wynne, Male, Christening Date,7 Apr 1751
Christening Place, Gateshead, Durham, England
Father's Name, Thomas Wynne

But in this area (Durham), they seem to be big families, often reusing names, and they all seem to love coal mining. So, my newbie question is, how do you untangle them or find records that at least appear to match when the family is not so noticeable or renown ie wealthy landowners and Lairds.
I am using FreeReg, Archives.com, FamilySearch and Wikitree.
Thanks for any tips.
