Hidden/Headden/Heading/Hedden/Hudden/Kightley/Bavin Family Trees

Welcome to the Hidden Family History and One Name Study site.

There are a number of separate family trees on this site. If you are new to the site, the first step is to select a tree. To find out more about the separate trees select the Feature Article 'Trees' on the RHS of this page. Click on 'View this item'. Decide which tree you wish to view and then close the file. Return to the Home Page and select Advanced Search. This will bring up the Search People page. Select a tree and enter the name of a person. To start at the top of the tree enter the name of the head of the tree. Click on Search and this will bring up the Search Results page. Select the appropriate name and this will generate a page giving details of the person selected. Selecting Descendants will generate a chart of the entire tree.

For further information about the different trees see the Feature Article entitled "Trees" in the panel on the right hand side of the Home page.

The web space for this site has been made available by the Guild of One Name Studies as part if its programme to support and preserve the research of its members. For more information about the Guild see their website at www.one-name.org .

The use of DNA testing has become an increasingly important tool in genealogy, and a Hidden DNA project has been set up to assist with this. Currently a number of Hidden/Headings have been tested, and its value in complimenting conventional genealogy is increasing as more test results are added. Spectacular success can be obtained with this technology in making links between branches where documentary evidence is missing.

We wish to encourage as many Hiddens as possible to join the DNA project. For more information see www.familytreedna.com/public/Hidden .
