Bygones - Index - Genealogy |
Genealogy is the new national
craze.
A recent survey has revealed that tracing the family tree
is turning into a national craze that spans generations. Lyneham
is packed with memories, lifestyles, history, and traditions.
Our village has thousands of historic facts and you could
be holding onto some small part that will fill the holes in
our jigsaw 'a history in the making'. There are many missing
pieces of this timeline jigsaw. We are starting to document
the bygones here. As we receive them we will archive them
here for all to peruse. 'A History in the Making'
The age of those researching their family trees is spread
evenly over all ages. The majority began their search out
of curiosity and over a quarter have traced their ancestry
back more than three centuries, while a small percentage have
gone as far back as 1600 and beyond. Lyneham Village Online
is in search for ancestors to the village in hope that we
can reveal what life was like in the community.
You may be interested to know, that there are some excellent
resources on the internet and the number of people interested
in the subject is growing far faster than anyone had ever
anticipated. We have listed a few websites below that may
help you to reveal your own ancestry or who lived in the house
you own. While you are interested in history research, you
may like to see information on the old Heneage
Tithe maps and early inhabitants
to the village. Maybe you have some fascinating facts about
who lived in the community and would like to share them on
the village history section click
