Our forebears have lived in a wide variety of homes through the years. The humble ones have disappeared from the landscape, and the grander ones have been mostly rebuilt or extended. Photographs of some of the more substantial properties now occupying the lands which we have graced historically can be seen here.

We are in the process of producing and updating a Googlemap of the Bowland area pin-pointing the sites occupied by assorted members of the historic family through the centuries. These places are referred to in the various types of documentation currently available. The map (a work-in-progress) can be seen by clicking Swindlehursts-united Origins Map. The map can be scrolled horizontally and/or vertically, and can be enlarged by double-clicking.

Detailed information is contained on the Origins, History, Family trees and Photographs pages.

We have attached a document which may be of wide interest. We know, from all the living descendant contacts which we have, that the most common thing they want to know is who their ancestral parents were. This list should have parents of all living global family members. It will need to be replaced at times as the on-going research reveals more about each family and their generation links.

A Brave one. A Strong one. A Virtuous one. An Ugly one. An American one (or two). A Law-breaking one.
