Yep, and they can count them on the fingers of both hands!

Dunno about that. But this is fun for surname tracing over the years. Jones is a good one.

Cheers for this found most of my family are still North of the Border.

I can understand for Norfolk but Suffolks original gene pool has been diluted by Londoners who commute........

^^^ Tell me about it.
I did annoy someone when I worked in Croydon. He said I expect you all speak 'loike this ooo arr bor' and I replyed Nah mate their all f***ing Londoners innit.


People have been commuting a lot over the last 50 years. I remember that going out somewhere as a child seemed like a hell of a day out. Now I find its less than 20 miles away!

Did the check for my family name for 1881 (Pallant) - only shows up in Norfolk and Suffolk.

Actually - come to think of it I am my own 7th cousin due to inbreeding.
