Genealogyforum.co.uk Do join us on the Genealogy forum link above and let us know who you Connect to... We came here to find our own family and along the way we discovered those of others. All with a birth and death but in between we found their very own stories to show that they had indeed lived, loved and laughed and without whom we wouldn't be here. Someone's Black Country Son... Someone's Black Country Daughter... Our Family Tree. Dedicated to our Black Country Ancestors. Gone but not forgotten and remembered by us here. The aim has been to have a Black Country Tree to show how all our Black Country Ancestors may link together. Black Country Connections has been a team effort with a lot of people adding information from their own personal research. As you would with anyone's research DO VERIFY THE INFORMATION GIVEN ON HERE FOR YOURSELF! We do not accept responsibility for any entry notes, errors or mistakes or content from external links to other websites. ________________________________________ Don't blame us if it all vanishes one day due to outside influences, so please DO NOT regard this as your main storage place for family details. If anyone disagrees with some of the information on the site then they are welcome to contact us and we will look into the matter. We now have many entries on the site and we would like them all to be correct!
