My ancestors are predominately British, and specifically English and Welsh. As you can see from the map, their roots run deep in the great cities of Liverpool and London, as well as along the picturesque North Wales coast and in the industrial North East. Some crossed the Irish Sea and the English Channel to make England their home, while others embarked on voyages across the Atlantic, making roots in America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
This is a complete list of the residences referenced in the family narratives. Where possible, each one has a link to its position plotted on Google Maps, and for those in the UK a link to a side-by-side period OS map on the fabulous NLS website.
