Lizzie Borden Society Forum

Here's my line from Richard Borden (the immigrating ancestor and my common ancestor with Lizzie). Mind you, it has been a while since I first found this information and I have not checked lately for any updated information or corrected dates. I do have more information on the ancestors of Richard Borden that go back another 200 years or so. If anyone would like that information as well, just let me know. This specific line came from the town of Headcorn in the County Kent in England. My name is shown in red.

Note: My father was adopted at birth (hence the surname difference), but found his birthparents after his adoptive parent's death. This tree shows only the birth parents (bloodline) information.

Thank you, Michele. So your family line and Lizzie's family line link up with Richard Borden of England. Now I have something to chew on.

Thank's again, Michele.

Quite welcome...:)

According to a relationship chart I have, that makes Lizzie and I 7th cousins, once removed. Not exactly "Next-Of-Kin", but I still think it's a cool deal. It prompted my hubby to go hide the hatchet we kept near the fireplace...all the while mumbling "well, THAT explains a lot"...<BIG grin!>

That's cute. Bet he was worried, huh.

Nah...we've been together so long if I was going to do him in, it would have happened many moons ago. However, he honestly DID go hide the hatchet...

well that's good. At least he can trust you.
