My name is Margaret Fake Anders.I have a cousin?? Roslyn Hamblyn living in Rotorua , New Zealand.In 1986 we became acquainted and have been looking for a family connection ever since.Her family came to N.Z. from England.She has been researching her family and I really don't know back to what year.The year where we would have connected is 1712.
My family left Germany for England in 1711.They were offered passage to Americe byQueen Anne if they would work in the pitch forrest for her.While waiting in London for a ship to take them to America the citizens of London became disgruntled because the Germans worked so cheap, taking their jobs.So Queen Anne sent some of them to Wales and Scotland rather than to America. Are you familiar with the Palatines of Ohio ,Pennsylvania and New York? Could your Fake Family be one of the Germans who remained in England?MargaretE Mail [email protected]
