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. 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 and Lanivet, both parishes featuring 
in my own ancestry. I also transcribe for Free BMD when I have the time.

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.
