FOLKESTONE FAMILIES
Welcome to my website! My name is Penny. My ancestors hailed from Folkestone
Kent England. Over the years when researching my family tree I have crossed paths
with many others who share a link back to Folkestone. This site was launched in February 2001 and is dedicated to fellow Family History addicts with an interest in families from Folkestone.
My plan is to continually update the site. My hope is that these pages will provide a forum for sharing stories, research, information and resources. My aim is to bring some enjoyment to others. Please visit the site regularly. If you would
like to contribute to it please feel free to email me. All contributions will be gratefully received and appropriately acknowledged.
A special thank you to the following people who have kindly contributed to this site:
