Introduction

I have been working on my family tree for about 10 years and this website is a dedicated home for  it. My tree has been researched from the perspective of 2 families: Sales and Goodwin.

There are 2 distinct Sales families in the UK, one in the South East and one in the North East/East  Midlands. I've not found any relationship between the two yet. My particular Sales family are the  ones that lived around the Humber estuary. My particular line is the Sales who moved down from  there to live on the South coast in Chichester - Joseph Chesman Sales.

My particular Goodwin family is the one that lived around Nottinghamshire. However, they are hard  to trace before the middle of the 19th century.

Living Family

I have a very big family descended from my Grandparents - mostly from the Sales side. A total of:

4 Aunts/Uncles
 13 Cousins
 4 Half Siblings
 1 Sister
 1 Son
 7 Nieces/Nephews
 9 Grand Nieces/Nephews
 15+ 1st Cousins Once Removed
 1 1st Cousin Twice Removed

Sadly, life gets in the way of seeing most of them but it's nice to know the family is so active!

Background

My interest in family history started with my father's stories of various family  members and their stories that he grew up with. We decided to put together a family  tree in 2001 and our initial attempt was entirely from his memory. I have included a  copy of our first attempt in the photo gallery and I'm sure you will be surprised how  accurate he got it!

Using the website

If you are part of the family I recommend you use the locator tool. Go to 'Home' underneath the tree picture in the top left corner, hover the mouse pointer over it and click on 'locator'. This lets the website know who you are and reports/trees are tailored to your part of the family.
