The Ancestral Places Geneameme

Alona from Lone Tester blog has set us this geneameme for National Family History Month. The rules are as follows:

What places do your ancestors come from?

Using the alphabet how many letters can you name ancestral places for? Some you will no doubt know well, some you may not … at least not yet (see my letter ‘I’ and ‘N’ examples below). I still have more research to do on those lines.

It doesn’t have to be where your ancestors were born, but it does have to be a place that they were associated with. For instance they lived or worked (or died?) in that place.

Most of the places that I have listed,  relate to direct line Ancestors.  Hopefully,  someone searching Google will find this post and contact me!
