I have had a strange kind of day..synchronistic you might say..I live in Bali..in Indonesia..I came across this site an hour or two ago having spent all day looking into certain aspects of my family ancestory
We are back to 1540 and one Thomas Paley of Giggleswick my many times (12) "great" grandfather on my Mothers side.
My research started this morning as a result of reading about Charles Darwin in Bill Brysons "A Short History.."
Up comes the name of William Paley, who it turns out was
also a Giggleswick branch member..a rather famous protagonist of Darwin it seems ...I havnt quite worked out their relationship yet.
