About Rex's Tribe
Please sign in to see more. If you can add any detail of family members missing from this tree (including current generations) I would be very pleased to hear from you.
Of course if you discover any errors, I would appreciate knowing about them so that I can correct them. I would hate some mistaken research on my part to perpetuate itself.
In relation to family names; I have recorded them as they appear in records such as those of the Tasmanian Archives, U.K Census etc.
There are instances of a family's surname having different spelling recorded for each child along with instances where the spelling of surnames became different in the Australian records to the spelling in the person's country of origin. My branch of the Burden family became Burdon and there is even one instance of a U.K. census taker spelling the name Berden. This different spelling obviously arose in instances where my ancestors/relations were only semi-literate and were dealing with an official, most likely also semi-literate and who recorded the name as it sounded. My ancestral line includes familiar family names in Tasmania such as Clifford (Kloepfer), Allanby, Mundy, Jacobson, Athorn, Bellett, Kidner and Kingston.
As the stories of an ancestor's or relation's life, along with photos and descriptions of them, make the tree come alive (and in effect keep the person alive for future generations) I would appreciate any information, descriptions, notes, photos or stories that you might like to pass on about a relation. Of course if you do not want them published or passed on further I will respect your wishes and keep them private.
Finally, please take the time to leave me a comment in the guest book about who you were looking for in the tree and your relationship to them. I am a curious bugga :-) |
