Photo Tour of the United Kingdom

Our Genealogy Trip to the United Kingdom

Steve & Donna Myers Janet & Gary Foster

Purpose of our Trip: Steve & Donna Myers, Gary & Janet Foster went to visit Great Britain for three weeks (March 4th to March 24th 2003) to see the homeland of each of our English & Welsh ancestors.

Preparation for our Trip: Each of us had researched our ancestry from the United States where we were born to England. Steve wanted to go to Nottinghamshire & Donna to Wales. Gary wanted to go to Yorkshire, Durham & Northumberland & Janet to the Pilling area. We toured the ancestral home areas of each of our ancestors and visited the sites they would have been most familiar with. We talked with the local residents, ate typical English food and enjoyed the rainy weather and overcast cloudy skies. We also came to England just at the end of their Winter season and just before the normal tourist season began. We followed the Rick Steves travel books and compared to the Frommers books. Prior to coming to England we watched several videos about what to see in our travels. We consulted several road maps and asked many questions of very friendly and helpful people all over Britain, Scotland and Wales.
