- First-hand information. Entered by John Despard at registration.
Researching my family name of Despard Trying to find a direct link from my great grandfather to Edward Despard his father. Both apparently from King or Queens Counties Ireland.
I have my own website dedicated to the Despard name: www.despard.eu Lots of odd things there including books, films, electrical switches etc all connected to Despards.
Both sides of my family come from Ireland, the other name is Gillis, again from Queens (Laois).
I live in the south west of France and have dual nationality, Irish and British.

Hi, I see you are connected to the Brackley tree. I found a hint on Ancestry to the Chiswick/Brackley family tree that is obviously about my great grandfather, George Samuel Francis Cisco STROUD. I think they have some errors which I can set right & expand their family tree in this regard. Please contact me & let me know if you can or cannot help me with this please Thank you.

How's everything going?
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
