Welcome

This web site has been created to help further the research into my family name.

For the regular visitors to my site, please excuse the new design. Unfortunately the old site was created hard coded with HTML 4.0 and became incompatible with many new browers, so all sorts of access problems were occuring. I am now learning to use Dreamweaver CS3, so the site will get better as I learn more.

My main research will be concentrated on my FURMINGER family tree, which has its roots in and around Maidstone, Kent. (Records suggest Furminger's have been living in Kent certainly from the mid 1500's)

I have also gathered and researched another FURMINGER group which has its roots in Brede, East Sussex. Currently there is no known link between these two groups.

If you are a FURMINGER or related to one, please let me know. My database of FURMINGER's is growing and maybe one day some or all can be linked.

You will note that my FURMINGER spelling is with a U but as this is likely to be a result of historial effects any varient spelling is of interest, including FIRMINGER, FERMINGER, FIRMIGER, FYRMYNGER etc.

In the navigation bar at the top of the page you can find links to my Paternal lineswhich consists of:-

FURMINGER - BUSHROD - WATERS

and my Maternal lines which consists of:-

GODDEN - MARSH - HUGHES

Also my wife's Paternal line FENWICK and her Maternal line BISHOP
