Hi. This is the first post on my new blog. It takes over from my old Google Blogger one (http://gammononenamestudy.blogspot.dk/). I hope that this one will be a bit more interactive, as I really want to get everyone with Gammon/Gamon/Gambon family connections involved in the study of the surname.

For the record, I am carrying out a One Name Study on the Gammon surname (which also covers the GAMMIN, GAMMAN, GAMMONS variations). So if you are researching your family history and you find one of these names (or one like it), then please get in touch and we can share what we know about that particular branch.

The study is being carried out according to the guidelines of the Guild of One Name Studies. You can read more about the Gammon study here (Guild Surname Profile Page), and also find out more about the guild.

As it is not always easy to find all of the documentary evidence to connect the various Gammon/Gamon/Gambon family trees together, I have also begun to use the latest scientific DNA tests. If you know of a living male with the Gammon/Gamon/Gambon or similar surname, then please encourage them to take a DNA test. It is painless and secure (or I wouldn’t have done it!). Please read more about the Gammon DNA Project here (FamilyTreeDNA Gammon Project).

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Okay – this was the day I started switching to my new WordPress blog. Previously I had two different Google Blogger blogs. I used a Bitnami WordPress stack installed into an Amazon AWS instance.

Eventually, this stopped working and I didn’t have the time or skills to sort it out. So, all the posts published there originally (and the ones at Google Blogger) have now been imported to this wordpress.com blog, and can be read here. I have also updated all of the out of date links up to this date where I could. I will try and take the Google Blogger sites down soon to avoid confusion. I also hope to blog about this resurrection process soon.

For now, I continue moving forward in my blogging history to try and tidy things up.
