Greetings once again to (http://burchmore.net/) descendants of the Burchmore, Harrower, Hutton, Raine and Taylor families as we celebrate our annual internet get together, noting these important reasons:
– To reflect on our 19th century ancestors who braved adversity for life in a young country.
– To serve as an archive for the preservation of precious pics,docs and memories.
– As a reference of family trees that trace our ancestry, most importantly for youngsters pondering their “roots”, as well as recording contemporary births, deaths and marriages.

We are fortunate that Burchmore is a grandparent line of our master genealogist cousin, Terence – click on (http://customers.skymesh.net.au/~tawalsh/burchmor/burcmain.htm) for his Flamstead Burchmore study.
You will note family trees a and b now have an index of descendants, while g and h have been comprehensively updated.
