My travels and family history help you reveal yours.
The surname research I focus on is the tracing of my direct family line of ancestors. My grand parents names were DAWSON, KITTO, SHEPHERD & IRELAND (as in name not the country). These families resided in New Zealand and prior to this England and Scotland.
