List of pedigrees

Cary 1: Cary of Clovelly, Cary of Cockington, Carey of Dover, Carey of Hunsdon, Carey of Monmouth
Although BP1934 Falkland also reports that the progenitor of this family was Adam de Karry, it shows different ancestors of the Sir Robert Cary who married Margaret Courtenay. We show both alternatives, starting with that shown by BE1883 Carey of Hunnsdon, Rochfort and Dover.
Visitors since 22nd March 2009:

It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!
