Lankshear - our Family History Page

Updates to this site will stop from 2024

Ancestry say

Hosted websites will become read-only beginning in early 2024. At that time, all logins will be disabled, but hosted sites will remain on RootsWeb as static content.

Any problems ask me
Many brickwalls broken down which are not on this web site as yet but are on the tree
Especially for the EAGLE family decidedly my highest number of DNA matches

Also find me on Facebook and perhaps my blog.

Rootsweb with Ancestry are wonderful in providing sites like mine for family history. There were hiccups in 2017 but Rootsweb have brought the sites back and mine came back Back on line 29 August 2018. Thank you Rootsweb. I know they brought back many sites with no current owner.
Now they are making that data static I hope they keep going as I want this data to be around for future generations. Help cousins find their ancestors was why I did all this

The Site and Navigating the Site

Ron Lankshear is researching the LANKSHEAR family 
Ron does like to help people and there are Genealogy links and data available –
especially look for Lest We Forget not just our family but with other data provided by friends.


Google Search of this Site try with your ancestors name. includes people the Lankshear's married

For the Home page it is the Lankshear links. The EAGLE 2nd menu banner will be different. As is that for Genealogy Links. I hope you find the navigation reasonably obvious.  I try to link a person to their family details

My specific research
