Blog - 1980s and 1990s

1995-1999

From 1995 on, all new material has gone straight online onto my website.

The following shows parts of my website in 1999.
This site dates from 1995, but there are no copies of it before 1999.

Part of the BLENNERHASSETT entry in [Burkes Irish, 1976].
It was this tantalising note about Martha Lynne ("8th in descent from King Edward III") that made me realise in 1985 that my Blennerhassett line might connect to the World family tree.

Researching this in 1983 is what got me started researching the family tree.
