Your monument shall be my gentle verse
That eyes not yet created shall o'er read
And tongues to be, your being, shall rehearse
When all the breathers of your world are dead
You still shall live, such virtue hath my pen
Where breath most breathes - in mouths of men

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

New blog- Ginn: Dunmow, Eynesbury, Over, Swavesey etc

Just to say that in the light of the Covid-19 outbreak I have started a new blog to this as a "sister" blog alongside this one, which will remain vastly the larger of the two.  It is called the rather catchy (lol) GINN GENEALOGICAL GLEANINGS  and is to be found here-

https://ginngenealogical.blogspot.com/


The position is that in the light of the outbreak (and the resulting time it gives me) together with the fact that I am a Type 1 (taking insulin) Diabetic aged 64 and life is uncertain (just read my blogs) I have decided to do the best I can to put the contents of my notebooks online.

I have been researching the GINN FAMILY of HERTFORDSHIRE since 1989.  Along the way I have come across many other GINN families, some of which have been linked to Hertfordshire ( often long after I first researched them) others may be in the future, some were never going to be.

My notebooks are full with work on these families, snippets, sometimes chunks of information I have found on them, interesting stories, you name it.  After more than 30 years a lot of this is still not on the web, on any website, so it will be useful.  I have not done work on the Ginn family of Soham, nor Cornwall or Suffolk, but there has  been passing work on the family in Northants, quite a lot of work in western (not eastern) Cambridgeshire and a very strong effort in Essex, Huntingdonshire and, of course, London.  So the plan is to translate that work into coherent posts on this new blog.

I managed to get the new blog on the web without difficulty, but (perhaps because of the epidemic with everybody working from home ) I had a lot of trouble getting the blog recognized by search engines, although Google are now displaying and linking to it.  So part of the reason for this post, is to advertise the new blog and, indirectly via this blog get it recognized by further search  engines and promoted for visitors.

Tags which are relevant and to be posted in due course are

GINN:  DUNMOW
GINN:  SOUTHOE & EYNESBURY
GINN:  ST NEOTS
GINN:  OVER & SWAVESEY
GINN:  STAUGHTON
GINN:  TRALUCIA
GINN:  BLUNTISHAM
GYNN: BLUNTISHAM
GYNN: HOUGHTON and WYTON

I have a lot of general information on Ginn soldiers during and before the Crimean War, a particular knowledge as to who was who in London before 1800 and where they came from and a head full of long deceased Ginns, so the plan is to put it out there

ENJOY!
