Welcome,
This page is designed to provide
a summary of my paternal family tree. I have traced my Clark ancestors
from early 18th century London, England to Quebec, Canada. They had close
links with the shipbuilding trade in London. Hopefully we share ancestors,
in which case, I look forward to hearing from you.
My e-mail address is clark@ems.psu.edu
The prominent surnames beside Clark that appear are: Foreman, Cavil, Blondheim, Toney and Gaff. Each appears in the table below with a few comments that hopefully will wet your appetites to explore further. The format is the same for each name: a timeline prepared with Reunion 9 appears with the male names shown for reference.
Happy hunting,
John H. E. Clark
