Dedicated to my normal ancestors

I am an amateur genealogist. There are no royals, titled persons or famous figures to be found in my family tree even though I have managed to get back to the 16th century in a couple of cases. I do however have a lot of distantly related ancestors who are not quite famous. Maybe they were married to someone vaguely famous at the time. Maybe they had their moment of glory or infamy then faded back into anonymity. Maybe they were just interesting, adventurous or off the norm. In any event, this blog is dedicated to them. I found their stories interesting, so perhaps someone else will too. And you never know, someone might read this and recognize a name. If you do, please let me know!
