Lang Family History - an update



Lang Family History 

Percy and Emily Lang on their wedding day April 1912


Following some discussions with various members of the Lang Clan - I thought it would be useful if I set up this blog so that we have a starting point.

I know various members of the family have already found out a lot of information so that we can add material to this blog as we discover it...

The fact that so many of our family were born in either Ireland or over on the Sub-continent, does make it quite hard to get corroborative evidence and (this really bugs me) that so many women were just not included in any of the records - lots of men but very few women (almost as if we didn't count) which is ironic as the Lang family has, and still is to an extent a very matriarchal one!

I thought we could include:-
  • Family Tree - should we just start with our respective Lang parents and then work backwards?
  • Lang line
  • Bird Line
  • Irwin line
  • Robson/Swinyard line
Has anyone used one of the Family History websites or software to set up a family tree - I have started one but need to add to it...

I can invite various people to be co-authors of this blog and it would be good to know if anyone else would be interested in adding to it?
