Welcome...

The ROWBERRY One-Name Study actually covers many variants, such as my own name RUBERY. In fact these are the two most frequently found variants today, closely followed by ROBERY, ROWBURY and RUBERRY. Others still extant include REWBURY, ROEBURY, ROVERY, ROWBERY, ROWBORY, ROWBREE, ROWBREY, ROWBURREY, RUBBERY, RUBBRA, RUBRA, RUBREY and RUBURY.

Catching up

Well over a week has passed whilst unable to post, due first to pressure of work and then to losing broadband in the storms of last Thursday. During this time have heard that two Y DNA Test Kits have been returned to FamilyTreeDNA. Now to await the results!

Have also received enquiries about the Y DNA Tests from a few other people, so hopeful that some more will be ordered soon.

Other emails include two from fellow researchers who have found R entries in the course of their own researches; confirmation of William ROWBREE's place of residence (Gresford) from the Thetford RD Marriage Challenge; some sad news from Ted Rowbury that one of his brothers-in-law has died; one email enquiry; two email updates; five general emails from Rs; one email offering copies of two R death certificates; one from a fellow GOON about a query for ROBREY in Ross in this month's Family Tree Magazine and finally one in reply to a contact sent through GenesReunited on 10 Dec 2006.

The postman brought some splendid cuttings from a New Zealand magazine showing Anna ROWBERRY's new baby - they will go alongside similar previous ones detailing her wedding in Fiji to Jeremy STANLEY [New Zealand Family, ROWBERRY Tree Two].

Finally time once more for the periodic check of new R entries on GenesReunited. Again (amazingly!) found 70 new entries of which the majority were added by previous contacts. Found 10 new contacts who between them had added 19 new entries. Emailed them all and have already heard back from seven of them. Several have been able to fill in details on their trees - however small these are all very useful.

Hellow, I have read with interest Peasants to puddles and find that Hannah Ruck was my great grandmother and lived at Little birch Herford. She married Thomas Cutter. Her daughter was Isabella Ruck/cutter (Nana) and married Thomas Powell. Nana daughter was Joan Frances and married my father Leslie Edward Afford.
I would love to know more. My tree has grown no end on genes reunited.
Kind Regards
