Thank you for visiting my site. You will find a lot of information
about several family's here. My main interest, to start with, is
my Horrocks surname. This led me almost immediately to the Horrocks
Ancestral home of Bolton England. Tracing my English roots, I have
made some wonderful discoveries with other surnames such as Jeffes,
Pickering, Wovenden, Freakley, Wynne, Boss, Heywood, Willcoxson and
Oddy.
On my maternal side, my main focus was on my Brown and Glass
lines. There is extensive research on both of these surnames. This
research lead me to the following surnames: Dill, Maddox, Modglin, Boswell,
Ambrose, Barnhill and Stateler. Most of this history is based around
southern Illinois and western Kentucky were these families were pioneers.
Interesting to also find that there are several Revolutionary War and
Civil War veterans in the family.
I would like to take credit for all this research but I can't. There
have been many of you from around the world that have added so much to
this work in process.
The most important and interesting ramification from this research
is finding some many extended family members from around the world.
Besides here in the USA, my extended relatives are located in Australia,
England and South Africa. Before this search in concluded, I am sure we
will add several more countries.
As I stated before, this is a work in progress. I currently have over
1,000 images loaded on this site and only attached a few of them to their
proper individuals and places. This will take several months to complete.
I invite all my extended family to sign in the this site so I can keep
you informed on what is new.
If you have any questions or comments about the information on
this site, please contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
