Thanks Hugh

I will ammend it later. This is what I enjoy doing most
building family pedigrees. I hope to before I leave this
earth have over 100,000 names in my family tree and
mostly Monmouthshire. East of the river Usk is my
favourite area.

I have nearly 15,000 so far which includes people from
all walks of life, rich and poor all connected by marriages.

I have even found a connection with two families from Chepstow
and Magor by the surnames Sergeant and Lawrence who are
ancestors of Thomas Edward Lawrence alias Lawrence of Arabia.
