About The Garner Family of Leicestershire
Please sign in to see more. INTRODUCTION by RONALD JOSEPH GARNER.
In 1992 I met Kevin Woods who talked to me of 'family trees', our origins and generally kindled my interest in 'where we came from'. Some years previously I made a half-hearted attempt to trace my mother's forbears, but after sifting through the parish church registers and only getting doubtful lineage, I gave up. However, seven days after our talk, Kevin supplied me with information of several generations of Garners with copies of birth certificates and marriage records - I was hooked!
I next introduced myself to Ron Banks, the Thrussington historian who proved to be a real mine of information giving me generations of Garners back to William and Eleanor, not only that, but he supplied me with information and photographs of their house which is still in use today.
I often wish my forbears had kept records of our family tree, it would have saved a lot of trouble! A little information here and some from somewhere else and we are as you see us today in this version of our family tree. I am sure relatives, friends and others will enjoy it.

There are numerous people, too many to mention individually, who have contributed to the information contained in the Garner Family Tree. A sincere and heartfelt thank you to you all. However, a special thank you goes to my wife's late father, Howard Charles Koverman Jnr, who kindly provided information on his family history.

I hope that you may find information to aid you in your research and, with your permission, provide information that I may add to my family tree. I look forward to hearing from you.
