This is Sam's genealogy. It follows a bible which belonged to her
paternal grandfather's mother's paternal grandfather and records
roughly 150 years till 1968. The bible is currently at her
father's house.
As I had first noted them down on a piece of paper about ten years
back, and can't always read what I had written, place names may be a bit
messed up. When absolutely unsure, or when what I had written down
does not make sense, I have put in a ?. ...family... means that there
may be a family description in the original which I did not copy
down. An indented list refers to the last person named at the
previous level of indentation.
A name in bold face means that the person is in the
direct line towards Samantha, and the family description continues in
the main list. Other branches of the family are inserted in
place.
This list starts with the Bazley (probably a location surname also
spelt Beasly: ‘bent grass’, ‘wood clearing’?) and ends with Butler
(probably an occupational surname). It has a short interlude into
a Vernon (probably a location surname from the Gaulish meaning
‘Alder tree’ and name of a place in France). (Surname meanings
primarily from surname origin
list.)
