Welcome
to this website. How to use the database is
explained on the index
overview
page. From
time to time this site will be updated but it will
be on an adhoc basis and you will need check the
names you are looking for against the
surname
index. You
can contact me via the Web
Master.
However, the volume of mail is such that only
enquiries pertaining to this web site can be
answered. It is always helpful to give as much
information as possible. This is especially true if
you are unsure of a link to this
database. Due
to this web site being taken advantage of by
genealogical web crawlers (yes, they do exist) and
by others who have released to the world sensitive
information, this web site does not contain anyone
born after 1925 and restricts data born between
1911 and 1925. Download the complete
index
on all surnames for further information. Note, this
file is zipped. This index allows you to search for
names. It will not give you any relationships to
others. If you find a match then please contact the
Web
Master. This
latest update (06-Feb-2006) contains a very large
update on the MAIDMENT side of the family. Most of
this work has been done by four or five researchers
and I hasten to add not much by me. What
I have done is to link them all together to
create one big MAIDMENT family. That still took me
13 months of steady work through hundreds of
individuals. Please remember that you do not see
individual notes or research information or people
born after 1911. If you want this information then
you will need to contact us. We do our best to
ensure there are no mistakes but as this tree goes
back to 1470 it is inevitable that there is going
to be errors. Please do not accept the information
at face value. It is supplied for guidance only and
needs to be checked against real
records. Although
the MAIDMENT family is the the biggest update there
are some 50 other family names that have been added
or updated. In all over 1000 updates or additions
since March 2005. Good

Main Families and Countries Involved.
Over the years two very significant parts of the family have emerged. Firstly, the Ingrouille branch of the family came from the Channel Island of Guernsey and this has led to the data base breaking away to other branches of island families. These have been recorded because of the constant intermarriages of surnames this island has. So, anyone who has connections with the Channel Islands but particularly Guernsey would do well to start here as I have gone overboard with tracing the links to other Guernsey Families. Secondly, there is a large slice of the Maidment family that lived on the county borders of Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset in this database. Including a line to Canada and a line to Australia. The Hayden's in question are from Essex and Hampshire in England with two branches that emigrated to Australia. With one branch splitting again to New Zealand. Unfortunately tracing the Haydens back before 1800 is rather difficult as they wouldn't stay in one place long enough. If you have Canadian connections especially in the Gaspé or Prince Edward Island regions then many families emigrated there from Guernsey. I have recorded some of these names but not duplicated the work from Marion Turks book called The Quite Adventurers in Canada. And neither would I want to as it is a very thick book.
I have been researching my family for the past 20 years. I am a member of the Society of Genealogist, The Channel Islands Family History Society and La Société Guernesiaise. I can be found in the 2000 Genealogical Research Directory. Although I am currently concentrating on parental lines, these web pages represent years of much wider research by myself and many others.
