Only a few names researched in any detail and then mostly direct lines so still much to find out. the Young family is where the Scottish line comes from and Gough the Welsh - I think but I'm not sure about that - hard to get back any further on either of those:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-71147121153569965222016-01-10T10:52:08.602+00:002016-01-10T10:52:08.602+00:00Thank you for the link to your family history blog...Thank you for the link to your family history blog. I had wondered whether to set up a blog dedicated to writing about my family history or to include posts in my general blog so it's something to think about as a project for this year in order to have a record.
