No because of the loss of records due to fires.
The gentleman did clear up one mystery. Dad had an aunt Jenny in lineage (who my sister is named after). We also had some letters signed by Jane kept by the family historian. Apparently Jenny is a nickname for Jane. Like Molly is for Mary. Becky is for Rebecca Beth or Liz is for Elizabeth. So we know that Jenny and Jane were the same person.(in the same time frame)

Oh yes, the church fire.

I can understand this as the Church was the keeper of the birth, marriage and death records.

Back years ago all villagers were members of the same Church, nothing like it is today.

I really enjoy watching “Finding Your Roots” on PBS and “Who Do You Think You Are” which I don’t think is on any more.

There was even an UK version of WDYTYA that I found on YouTube.
