Jane Austen connection
« on: Saturday 30 September 23 10:02 BST (UK) »
Hi. I've been trying to find a connection to Jane Austen, the author. I have found I'm related to several Austens in Kent, but haven't found a connection to Jane Austen. Any advice on where to look next as I seem to have come to a dead end?

Hi megansouthon

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

Have you reviewed the extensive material online for Jane Austen's ancestry and family descendants to see how your family members could connect?

Akin to Jane, a manuscript by Joan Corder, see www.janeaustensfamily.co.uk/akin-to-jane/jc/jc.index.html is one of the most noted. Have you reviewed this?

See www.janeaustensfamily.co.uk/akin-to-jane/text/lists.html

copy and paste her family tree - and then - see if any of her 7 siblings are possibly connected to you - good luck
