Nathanville's Genealogy Family Tree

The Joint Family 1916

Welcome to the Nathanville Family History Site

Above left menu, use the tabs, Surname List and Name Index to browse a full and comprehensive searchable Family Tree database of about 10,000 people with over 1550 different surnames dating back to about 1500, most prominently in the South West of England but also covers other parts of the country and many parts of the World including Australia, Europe, Canada, America and even a few from India. The family tree with over 500 Baglin's, Stickler's, and 700 Oaten's is an ideal research tool for researching these names or any of the other prominent families in the index including Bang, Browne, Burgess, England, Everett, Greenman, Fry, Sherwood, Jenner, Russ, Willis and many others.

The Surname List is a fully indexed family tree database, sorted by family groups, however as this website contains a growing wealth of family photos, documents and history you may wish to read the tips on 'How to Use This Site' below:

Feedback

Currently Nathanville's Family Tree data is presented here two separate systems, each with its own strengths and weaknesses; I'd be grateful for your feedback on your use of them:-

An interactive database of the family tree compiled with RootsMagic presented as a full database of individuals giving vitial information and addtional for each individual along with hyperlinks to their parents, spouses and children. The database is also presented in family groups format which only lists the primary spouse for each family group and does not include any additional family notes, and
The Dynamic Family Tree (see above) compiled with DftCom2, a full dynamic family tree chart using a Java Applet so little or no latency in use, but to use it requires Java installed as a plug-in to your web browser, which (if not already installed is free from http://www.java.com/en/

English Roots My Son

If your ancestors are English then your origin (Northern or Southern England) may well be in your surname. We all know about Mc and Mac (son of) in the Irish and Scottish clans. Now, according to Leicester University researchers, an English person's geographical roots are revealed by the end of their surname.

Surnames ending in 'son' indicate northern English roots while surnames with an 's' at the end suggests a southern ancestry e.g. Williamson and Robertson are historically of Northern origin while Williams, Roberts and Russ are of southern origin - Nearly 60% of northerners in villages like Crosby Ranvensworth in Cumbria had 'son' surnames in the 17th century, and Russ at that time was firmly rooted in Somerset.
