Not necessarily Lily.....some people haven't a hope in whatsaname cos the parish records have been destroyed....whoever they might be.....if they were in trouble for any reason, whether they were gentry or not, chances are, it will be recorded.

Gentry and Royalty do have a better chance of having a lineage that goes further back, as well as land owners ( recorded ) but searches in records offices as well as some online sources do throw up the odd gem even of the lowest of the low as well as some brick walls that cannot, supposedly, be broken down.

TY..Susan..will keep that in mind..perhaps my `drive` is not like others..I am curious yes....
but to go trapsing round graveyards...churches..record offices..and (if lucky)..find ancestors..I do not think I will be that much in `awe`...i.e..Ive been to catherdrals..momentus places with crypts with amazing history..I read the `blurb`..half hr later..Im thinking what to have for tea..!...I live for the moment I guess is what I am saying...the Heree..the Now..this moment...My ancestors are not going to change anything...

this is my humble opinion...I do not judge anyone that goes out there finding clues..history..their past..Good luck!...
