Uncle Bill - say it isn't so!!...
My family came from England. My Aunt Helen researched our genealogy and summed it up this way: "You don't want to know".
It seems my antecedents were, ummm, encouraged to emigrate. A loyal reader helpfully pointed to a website where the records of the Old Bailey are now online and searchable.
Plenty of Phippses in that file.
