I began gathering information on my family and my ancestors when my dad was killed in a work  accident in 1970. My paternal grandparents weren't all that interested although my grandad did  give me some basic information on  his siblings which put me in contact with a lovely lady named  Winnie Chittick.  Winnie knew an awful lot about grandad's generation of the Snowdons and she  willingly shared her knowledge with me.

So, over the past 40 years I have made some progress although for several years now I have been  unable to get much further back but I keep on looking.

In 2004 I went to Devon and visited Averton Gifford.  My husband and I roamed the old churchyard  and found quite a few family headstones.  Like most overseas trips there wasn't enough time so I  guess we'll just have to go back.

If you are related or think you may be, please leave a message - I'd love to hear from you.

Happy hunting
