Hello and Welcome to this website.My name is Margaret Dent and I am the Administrator of this site.      I have always been curious about my roots and now I have retired and have the time on my hands I have managed to dig a little deeper.The Wood,Charlton,Dixon Dent and Sinclair side of the family have their roots in the North East of England,whilst the Lane and Seal branch of the family  are all from London,Kent and
 the South East.I am still adding names to this site,so please visit from time to time for updates.      An interesting point that not many family members know is that when I was born I was originally  named Rosemary...I have shown a copy of a letter sent to my mother from my maternal grandmother(Eleanor Lane,born Seal)just after my birth,which may have accompanied a gift,addressed "To Rosemary".Obviously my father wanted to name me after his own mother,hence it was changed to Margaret.
      The Lane family can be traced back to 1599 with verification and back to 1066 in conjunction with other websites.The name came over from France with William The Conqueror and started off as De la Lone...the first noted as Adam de la Lone.
      As for the Wood side of the family,this can be traced as far back to Frosti Karasson,King of Finland 0380-0430 with connections to many of the Royal families of Europe,plus various links to the Plantagenets.
      I hope you have enjoyed browsing through my website.If there are details that need to be changed or I have failed to include family members please contact me.Please make a point of signing my guest book and leave your comments.
 Regards,Margaret.
