The one of the most common types of comment I get on this website is of the “are we related?” type. Sometimes we are, sometimes we’re not! If we are we can exchange research; if not we can at least be clear about how we are not related.
The purpose of these posts therefore is to try and collate such queries and either:
- document how we are in fact related, or
- collate remarks about non-relations to act as a point of reference for other families which whilst unrelated may still share a surname.
A status of “Unrelated”, of course, is subject to revision by further research and discoveries – usually of earlier ancestors.
