One of my favourite images that was shared with me of my great great grandfather who worked on board a passenger ship to and from New York.
My most recent tree research was for a member of the Tharp family. The majority of the family were based in Cambridgeshire from the late 16th century but the earliest ancestors found were born and raised in Jamaica and had sugar plantations and cattle pens.
This is a copy of the family crest with the family motto ‘In Spe Spiro’ in which the literal translation is ‘I breath in hope’ but suggests perhaps a long life.
