Genealogy

This site focuses on one of my interests, genealogy. In particular, it contains family trees for both my wife Debbie and myself. Our most recent ancestors' family names include Simmonds, Symondson (from which Simmonds is derived), Lowe, Deakin, Ogden, Curtis, Homer, Howkins, Auckland, Simpson, Lowes and Hauser. We live in Wakaw, Saskatchewan, Canada and our closest living relatives are Canadian. However, since 7 of our 8 grandparents emigrated from England the majority of our relatives were rooted in the United Kingdom. Some of our connections relocated to Africa, Australia, India, New Zealand and the United States.

As of September 3, 2024 the site includes 11 000 people. These pages contain names, pictures, notes, data, charts and links to other web sites. If you are new to this site please read the explanation below to assist you with navigation.

This site has been in existence since 2001 and has grown considerably. I have a secondary site at https://www.ancestry.co.uk named My Simmonds/Deakin/Ogden/Curtis Family Tree. While that site does not contain all of the people listed on this site or many of the notes it does contain links to sources such as census. You need to subscribe to ancestry to view it, however they do offer free trial subscriptions (ancestry.com)

Any census information not identifying the country refers to the England and Wales censuses. The same convention applies to BMD data (Birth Marriage and Death), probate calendars and others.
