Introduction

I am very interested in my family's history. My family originate from the Cheshire/Staffordshire borders - Congleton, Marton, Astbury, Mow Cop, Biddulph (see this location map). I have also added my wife's side of the family. This is centered around the Greenacre family (originating in the Norfolk/Suffolk borders) and the Amodeo family from the Amalfi coast in Italy.

I have generated the information I have gleaned to-date into HTML (Web) format and hope to keep this updated. In order to protect the confidentiality of living persons their names are witheld unless their consent has been obtained. Why not take a look and see if you can make a connection?

Incidentally, those coats of arms are not authentic but have been made up for fun.
