I have decided, after long deliberation, to include my birth father's details and research his family tree. This was mainly because one side of my tree was completely blank and it felt as though I was writing this more for other people than for myself - which, I hope you understand, is not the best reason for doing research like this. I know that he doesn't want to be a part of my life, and I have been for the past forty-eight years a secret in his line, but I doubt very much if he, or any of his family will ever see this site, so I don't see any harm in publishing it on here. If on the other hand he does pop by, I have forty-seven years of pocket money owing!
