For John, Diana, Katy, Nick, Zoe, Molly, and Sandra, and in memory of  my Dad, Bob Bennett (1913-1988), and brothers, Graham (1955-1959) and Douglas  (1958-1992).Also my Mum Lorraine Bennett (nee Keast) (1930-2008).

This quest for information started just after the birth of our first  grandaughter Zoe on March 5th 2002. I wanted to be able to show her and the  rest of the family where our roots were. Little did I realise how consuming  this quest would become! In the search for information I have made contact  with people all over the world.

I must make mention of a few people who have helped me along the way. Kris  Flamank is Australia - we have had many MSN chats swapping info on the Flamank  line. My paternal grandmother was Florence Beatrice Flamank (1889-1945);  Janice Trenouth for her wonderful information on the Canadian Trenouths who  can trace their ancestry back to Cornwall; Bryan Connell for his masses of  info on the Tew line from Warwickshire, and the Connell line from Ayrshire in  Scotland, and it's spread to Belfast and Liverpool. More recently, contact with Charles Fuller has  been an amazing help in exploring the Chenery/Chinnery families from the Stowmarket area of  Suffolk. Thanks to them and the many others who I have had contact with. Your help is invaluable.

I have started to add photos of the churches where our ancestors were  christened, married and buried. If you have ancestors connected to these  churches, I would love to hear from you.

As well as my own quest for information on our ancestors, and the lives they  led, I also now try to help others in their search as well. I have become the  OPC for the Cornish parishes of Lanlivery, Lanivet, Newquay and St Columb Minor parishes which feature in my own ancestry.

If you have found this site informative, or have made a link with any of the  ancestors here, please feel free to sign the guest book.
