My name is Alan Pearman and I started this site. This site was created using MyHeritage.com. This is a great system that allows anyone like you and me to create a private site for their family, build their family tree and share family photos. The promotion over, it is a great program and easy to use. I come from a family that was very reticent about their backgrounds and researching my past has allowed me to gain the knowledge missing from my childhood. The my knowledge around ancestors went no further than my dad's parents and the town they were from. Their lives, and those of my mother's parents, were a blank. That applies no longer and the blanks I have filled in have given me an identity. That being so, who I am is the result of hundreds of people coming together and the bits of many of them that I have inherited is a bit diluted. I have tried, where I can, to provide sources for the data I have published on the site. None is original research but the results of many, many researching all or some of my ancestors. To them I send my grateful thanks. Sometimes the data conflicts from one family tree to another and there are errors on mine. Sometimes the data does come with sources. If that is the case please treat the information with caution. Even when there is a source there does need to be care because the researcher could be going along the wrong branch. Regards Alan |
