Have you ever wondered who your Great Great Great Grandparents where,
Or what they did for a living?.
Do not forget that they where once the same age as you are now,
And perhaps they asked themselves the same question.

Who were these other people ?,
What did they do ? ,
Who are their descendants ?,
Does it Matter ?,
Lot's of questions without answers.

si monumentum requiris circumspice

One question I do have an answer to "Does it Matter,"
the answer is
Yes
People do Matter

With the advent of computer technology it should be a lot easier for our descendants to trace their family history from now on, but at the moment if we want to trace our ancestors we have to put together what we can from memory and the memory of other members of our family, and try to confirm the details with documents that they have in their possession, and manually sift though the enormous amount of information in our libraries and public records office from all over the country, I have already spent many thousands of hours scanning micro film of news papers, legal documents, census returns, parish register's national index of births, marriage, death, and trade directories, also microfiche of name indexes IGI” {international genealogical index} produced by the Church of LDS, Directories ( Whites and Kelly’s } electoral registers, Poll books memorial inscriptions, burial registers, and on-line Internet genealogy information, only to find little bits of the picture. In the time that I have been researching my ancestors I have met many other people doing the same thing who have spent years, { one woman in her 70's who is also a member of the Family History Society has been to 8 countries over the past 14 years gathering details of her family history }

And in the past year or so I have been in contact with other people who are also researching the name Jensen, Brocklesby, Martinelli and Foll.

Lots of information is not even officially recorded anywhere
and will never be known, some say for the best.

de mortuis nil nisi bonum

Many Thanks to All the members of the family
who have helped with the compilation so far,
Without you, all this history would not have been possible,
You are part of this history.

The Quest Continues.
