Background

In 1978, the late Emeritus Professor G. E. Trease of Crediton, Devon produced the document "A Trease Family 1552 - 1978". It was the culmination of many years of tenacious research and is remarkable in that so much was achieved, even more so as it was without the benefit of computer and Internet technology. In 1986 he died and after a lapse of five years, research was recommenced by his daughter and her husband who have, over the course of twenty years, extensively increased the body of knowledge.
This website is dedicated to all those who have contributed to Trease family research over the years but in particular to those mentioned above without whom the site would not be possible.

Scope

This history covers the male line of UK descendants and ancestors of William Trease who married Martha Uglow in 1797 in St Gennys, Cornwall, England. It may give information, where known, on associated branches of the Trease family but this is not intended to be comprehensive.
Descendants of all emigrants, whether male or female, and UK descendants on the female line and are restricted to the children of their marriage and to protect the privacy of descendants: -

• no living persons are included
• where a descendant has died but members of their close family (spouse, partner, or children) are living, this history merely covers the descendant's working life and omits all reference to their family

How to get started

Go to the top menu bar and double click the link 'TREE' (between ORIGINS and PLACES). Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to navigate around the main tree and/or click links to associated trees. Click the links to read a write-up about a family and see associated photos and documents but please note that research is ongoing and some write-ups are incomplete.

Technology used

This history has been created to conserve and communicate what is known about the family, for present and future generations. With that in mind it uses the Internet scripting language known as HTML. Phototographs are held in JPEG format, and a few documents are in GIF format. This ensures that it can be easily read NOW using the web browser on any computer, without the need for any proprietary software, and will be capable of being similarly read for the foreseeable FUTURE (as HTML is an internationally approved Internet standard). It also can be readily copied onto any computer readable medium such as CD, DVD, or memory stick, or whatever will replace them.
