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

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

Find your roots!
Get DNA tested too!

Croker 1: Croker of Lineham (Lyneham), Croker of Trevillas, Bulteel of Fleet, Bulteel of Lyneham
 
(1) Each of BLG1886, BLGI1912 & Commoners quote the following "old proverbial distich" to indicate that this family was in Devon before the Norman Conquest:


        "Croker, Crewys, and Coplestone,
         When the Conqueror came were at home."
(2) Commoners reports that "There were no less than eleven John Crokers in almost uninterrupted succession". This indicates that, allowing for the Hugh, it is possible that there were 5 generations of successive Johns before the first one we mention.
(3) Commoners reports that Lineham came into the family in the time of Henry IV (who r. 1399-1413) by marriage with "the heiress of Churchill of that place; the younger branch of which family was the ancestor of the Duke of Marlborough."
