A new contact for the Michael Line

It's strange, I get no links for the Scaysbrook Tree, then out of the blue, I get contact via email, from someone who thinks they are related to Michael Scaysbrook the Australian Convict.

Now, this often happens, and there is no link, but in this case, there is a link and a strong one at that. So now comes the hard bit of piecing all the information together and pulling it into Ancestry.co.uk.

As of yet, I have not found a better platform than Ancestry.co.uk, it works and I can get most of the uk information I want, but they charge for overseas. I want to start looking into the USA, I know there is a link to a number who went not long after the Mayflower. This following paragraph is from the website Scaysbrook.com

"The name Scasbrook as Scaysbrook was originally written, has surfaced time and time again, during the War of independence. a John Scasbrook a colonel in the Loyal army to King George, was promant in Virginia, Warwick County area, where he came from is open to speculation but his family went on to secure the line in the new USA. A good site outlining a lot of the family from the Wills family tree can be seen on the Will web site. Another variant, a William Scarsbrook was listed on the passenger list of the ship Paul which sales for St Christopher in 1635 the ships list can be seen at USA"

So the chase is on.

Ancestry.co.uk

 I have tried all the different genealogy programs, mostly on the Mac, I did try a Chromebook version but it was terrible.  So which one is best, well to be honest, I lost interest in the Mac based programs when I started using Ancestry.co.uk to record my family tree. The simple reason is it is safe in the cloud, and I can access it from different machines, 

Geni was the first program I tried, and I was hooked, I put all I knew into it, and had the presence to backup all the Data. A change of Mac and a failed disk meant I needed a better system, I choose Ancestry, for no other reason than I worked well enough, plus I could get my DNA tested and see just where I came from.

So all is now safe, and as I start to get back into the Scaysbrook line, I have started at the current date and added my grandchildren, updated photos of my mom and dad and I am now looking at my grand parents on both side, this gets interesting and my mothers side is Irish and that opens up a whole load of different problems. My dads side is mostly sorted and thanks to Ian Scaysbrook work goes back to 1545 and offers a glimpse of beyond.

So my gran Scaysbrook is the point of my research, May Taylor Theodore, although her birth Cert says just May Taylor, did she change her name, if so why, her marriage certificate show her Taylor Theodore title. I need to dig more, and solve the mystery.

I have chosen to publish this post on the 1st May, she always said it was her birthday, not so, her birth cert says 2nd. May, the plot thickens.

she was born in a small village Atchem,  Shropshire,
