PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THESE NOTES, WHICH WILL HELP YOU TO GET THE MOST FROM THIS FILE. ❖ This is the direct male line only, as far as the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study has been able to discover. ❖ A line --------------------- following a man's name means that he had offspring but that any sons he had, had no known offspring. Thus, the direct male line ends with him. ❖ It is essential that this is read alongside the appropriate written accounts. The written account will highlight where doubt exists or when assumptions have been made. Throughout this document, suggestions are given as to which written account would be appropriate. These can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com ❖ 'Signposts' are included showing when and where some men lived. Thus, if you know the name of your grandfather or gt. grandfather, you should be able you to 'latch on' to a family line. In case of difficulty write to [email protected] ❖ The family codes, eg. ABL, BAL, WAR, are those used by the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study in its databases and written accounts.
