My family Tree

The family ancestry of Mike Horne, Hull, East Yorkshire, UK.

Family Names in my search -- Clouston, Dewar, Flett, Johnson, Johnston, Horne, Mowat.

Recently I have started to research into my family tree - here are some of the results for older generations. I have found that the family trees published by other people are very helpful, so I am placing my researches on the World Wide Web in case they can link up with or help others.

Note - the searches are not always conclusive and often stop, forcing one to make educated guesses from limited information.

I have tried to indicate the parts of the family ancestry which are definitely know and which are speculative. When an ancestor has no children or did not marry I have shown this. There may be other children and marriage of the others that I have yet to find.

I have also included other family groups that are not directly related to my family lineage, as the information might help others!

Note - In old records spellings and the recording of dates may not be 100% accurate. I am dyslexic so there is a chance that I have introduced errors also.

Mike Horne.
