Family History in Devon Tour
Overview of your Devon tour
Do you have family history in Devon? Let's explore the old villages, market towns and churches where they lived and may have frequented. The country Inns, farm work places and humble abodes. Many US families can find their roots in Devon, Cornwall as well as Dorset and Somerset. Back as far as the infamous first Atlantic crossings dating back to the mid 1600s, the old names of families from the West Country of England may be found in our Devon lanes. Any family history information sent prior to the tour will be subject to GDPR rules and no data will be held without permission of client/guests. A photographic documentation and images of the day will be captured and provided as part of the tour and as a forever memory for you to look back and refer to in further history researching.
