Featured History: Sam and Ag Roy had a suitcase full of photos. Most of the people in them are not identified. These photos are in the History item Unidentified Photos plus a few others from George Roy's collection. Can you help? or make a suggestion?
Featured Most Wanted: Our earliest confirmed Roy ancestor is James Roy born about 1840 and possibly from around Belfast. There is a photo (illustrated) found in his grandson Sam's collection of a John Roy - but who is he? This James has been merged with another James who has a father and brother named John. This chart illustrates this merger - it would be good to have more evidence. However, there is an alternative suggestion, made rather compelling in that the John in this family is the one in Sam's collection! Help!!
Featured Overviews: The Royes pedigree includes the Houghams which in turn goes back to the Dukes of Normandy. This chart shows the links between the Houghams, Dukes of Normandy and English royalty. thumb
Featured Report: "Convicts to Australia" selects from the database people identified as convicts, together with their deportation/arrival date. convict marks
Featured Articles: Review: The Goat Woman of Largo Bay assesses Gillian Royes's first novel in The Shad Series, set in Jamaica where she was born. She has written other books but this is her first novel - see http://www.gillianroyes.com/ genetics and health
