Marie’s Genealogy
“If we know where we came from, we may better know where to go. If we know who we came from, we may better understand who we are”
Welcome to my family history journey. On this page you will find details of my Di’s branch of my family tree. Memories, along with the documented evidence I have collected, have made it possible to trace my lineage back through the generations.
I have been researching family history over the last twenty years. Although I am in no way an expert I find this all fascinating and welcome any new information. This is not a list of facts but my attempt to bring the facts of the generations no longer with us back to life.

10th Generation and Beyond
Once I got as far back as the 10th Generation information become sporadic, I have done my best to collate the information into one story per family name, however some have more detail that others
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my research page. I truly appreciate your interest and engagement. If you have any additional information that could support, challenge, or provide further insight into my research, I would love to hear from you.
It has been a fascinating journey, uncovering stories and connections that have shaped our family’s history.
