Glad to see a thread for this

Furthest back I can go on one side of the family is my 14th or 15th Great-Grandfather Thomas Hungerford, the first Speaker of the House of Commons. His wife was the heiress of Sir Edmund Hussey. One of his sons, though not in the direct line, Walter, was also Speaker in the House of Commons.

Matthew Quintal, is also my 2nd Cousin 5x removed. He was a Cornish sailor who was a most eager participant in the Mutiny on the Bounty.

I'll have more on the others if anyone's interested in reading it. I know there's a small market for it, most likely, but I also have pictures if anyone would like to see them. I've been at work on this since 2011.

Definitely. Might the Voglers have been German, originally, btw? My Estes family came to England as merchants originally, and from what I know, there were at least a few merchants & people in similar trades who regularly lived in or around the port cities, like Norwich in East Anglia, Portsmouth, Plymouth, etc.

From what I understand they were a German family who came to England as members of William the Conqueror's army. That's what was told by my great-grandmother to my aunts and uncles. I've only recently been in contact with Cora Fugler's granddaughter and Norman Fugler's last living daughter (through her nephew). Both are in Central England and I'm trying to fill in the gaps with them, the ones I have anyway.

Percy & Ada Watson

In this photo, my great-grandfather is sitting front and center with Ada directly on his left. Percy is with his brothers in this photo. From the left to the right are Alfred, Rodney, Owen and then on Percy's right is Frederick wearing the straw hat.

Ok, that's all I'm gonna put up tonight...

All the pictures there are also on my ancestry.com tree. I will get around to filling in the families of the other people listed though.

Update on something I've just found out. This fella here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_the_Dane

He's my 33rd great-grandfather according to ancestry, we're connected through the Beaumont line. Roger de Beaumont (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_de_Beaumont), an adviser to William the Conqueror is my 29th great-grandfather. Frankly, the number of families to go through in order to get there has been a pain in the ass, but a very worthwhile one.
