[Sue from Southend]

I often wonder how certain these tree owners are that their ancestors are those early settlers! I suspect that a shaky knowledge of UK geography may play a part in some of the potential fantasies - after all to an American used to wide open spaces with ancestors that emigrated across an ocean and continent the distance between Warwickshire and Cumberland doesn't seem that great and have decided that their Websters must be the family that went on to become important in New Hampshire. Never mind that the name is incredibly common and they could have come from anywhere in the UK!
