Equally important to me as the men who carried the
Rymill name down the centuries are the women who each donated half
their DNA to the next generation that would bear the name 'Rymill'.
All the forgotten mothers-of-Rymills must be emphasised as they
rightly deserve, and with them, their fathers who gave them their
maiden names, and their mothers too!
Our trees are ever-expanding and sprawling entities, whose branches
reach out into unfamiliar family names and strange parts of the
country. Below is the list of families which each form 1/32nd of
my blood with one column for each of my grandparents, and those
in the Rymill line (my father's father) in bold:
Rymill
Adams
Wilson
Hawkes
McCulloch
Napier
Scott

There aren't 32 names in this list because my research
on my mother's side is incomplete!
