Hello Liz/Anthony/David et al,
Am still curious as to how many.... if any? "undiscovered" Catley trees there
may still be out there that we have not yet identified, or are those left still
unallocated, simply unknown sub-branches of existing "known trees"?
Am wondering if a detailed study of records over a certain year block would help to
realise or hi-light the unknown's ?
Genealogically speaking I understand that a generation is taken as thirty years ?
What if then, we were to select a fifty year period and give it a good bashing and see who
else drops out of the woodwork?
If we could get a 100% identification within such a year block, it should then, in theory,
give us a result. Of course it would require a 100% harvest of archive resources to be
meaningful but I think that with some 50+listers, we could expect a high return and a
meaningful analysis. There will always be the problems of ex pat returns to the UK and
sudden appearance of such people but am sure we could work round such difficulties?
Do you think the idea would work? Would be interested to get your comments
Tim
