Hello Melissa
The Forest of Dean is in Gloucestershire and if you look for Gloucester
you will find the Forest just S W of the city and covers a good piece
of land by our standards
it is a magic place my tree is mainly from the Forest and it had it's
own laws and rules to a degree that applied to people that were born in
the Forest they were know as Foresters It was a area rich in Coal
mining Iron mining and timber and was a very important place
some of my family came from over the border from Wales but I have yet to
track them down but the main area of Wales for my lot is Monmouth
good hunting
