Smith and Frost

Family Ancestors - the story and trees of the Smith and Frost families and the ancestors who shaped us: "This is us - the Smith family. Actually, originally I'm a Frost, but I made an honest man of Chris in 1985, and in return he made me use his surname. I'm the one in the middle, name of Jean, christened Margaret Jean, but only the Inland Revenue calls me that, and the cute card sharp on the right is our daughter, Becky. She also has a name only the authorities call her, and that's Rebecca Anne. Chris is the wild frontier man and IR call him Christopher David.

This is the story of our family trees, and the people and places who shaped us and made us who we are."

Family Ancestors - the story and trees of the Smith and Frost families and the ancestors who shaped us: "The
British Isles c.1300
Yorkshire, Dorset, London, Monmouthshire, Somerset, Essex, Derbyshire, Buckinghamshire…. these are just a few of the counties our forbears have lived in. An adage of genealogy states that until the advent of railways, families stayed in one place - not ours they didn’t! Rich or poor, people moved around, going where work, circumstances or opportunities took them, and our living cousins are scattered around the old British Empire - New Zealand, United States and Australia. I’m sure we’ll unearth more destinations! Chris’ mum was born in South Africa - I bet we have cousins there too.These pages are a little, personal, archive of the places our ancestors inhabited."
