(a) The names and facts that are underlined navigate to another link or person. Once you have been there, click the "back" button to return to Timeline. The other names and facts, not underlined, are blue for neatness and are static.
(b) The family tree lettering system distinguishes between the various sections of the BURGUM (or BURGHAM) family trees. (It was created many years ago when I first began my research). The various family trees are designated "AA", "BB", "DD", etc. There is no "CC" family tree, for example, because it was found to connect to the larger "FF" family tree.
(c) The GG family tree mainly existed in the Lydbrook area of the Forest of Dean. Can you help link him to another of our family trees?
