M*CH*MORE One Name Study
RECONSTRUCTED FAMILY TREES
Several family trees have been reconstructed from the M*CH*MORE source data by tracing people's ancestry back from the present day using a methodology described here. These trees originate from three main areas in England: the southern South Hams (centered on the parish of Stokenham in Devon), the northern South Hams (around the parish of Buckfastleigh in Devon) and Cornwall. The Muchmore Family Association has reconstructed two further trees for MUCH*MOREs in the USA. For a discussion of possible links between these trees, click here.
The following tables give the earliest known member of each family tree and their place and date of birth. (A date such as 171x gives the approximate decade.) Note that the trees originally numbered 01, 03, 04, 06, 07, 08, 10, 12 and 14 have been merged with other trees as a result of ongoing research. To browse a tree, click on the name.
There are, however, many records of M*CH*MOREs who do not fit into the above family trees:
- Several shorter sequences of related families, called subtrees, have been reconstructed. These are accessible here.
- The remaining records have been grouped geographically and are accessible here. Included in these groups are records of people with a M*ch*more middle name.
Note that, in all trees and subtrees, data on living persons are only included if they have given their explicit permission.
