The Family Trees

This website is an amalgamation of years of research into the family trees and history of both me and my wife, and others who have so kindly contributed to our research; the site includes a wealth of family related images and documents.

Linked to this site is free access to our full and comprehensive searchable Family Tree databases; one each for both my wife and myself.  The family trees are extensive, covering tens of thousands of relatives, containing both blood relatives and distant relatives linked by marriage.  So if you are researching any of the family names covered by this site you may find links to your own family here; if you do we’d be more than happy to exchange genealogy information, images and documents with you.

Victorian Publications and History

Also on this site is a collection, and publications of Victorian publications kept in the family and passed down through the ages, including phrenology books, poems and writings by my great-great grandfather (George Burgess 1829-1905). 

Family History

Family trees are the backbone of genealogy, but family history adds flesh to the bones and brings the family research to life.  So on this site is a brief family history of the main family lines that I and my wife are researching; including family history from some of our side shoots that have been contribute with thanks from fellow researchers.

Images

And to complete the picture; on this site is included a variety of images, including family photo albums, documents, and photographs of family homes.
