Entries in the Steeple Ashton parish registers of christenings indicate that three children were christened on the following dates: Robert 8 Aug 1630; William 17 Jun 1632 and Robert 3 Mar 1633. All three of the children are listed as the sons of "Robert Berret". From the christening entries of the children, we know the name of the father. Beyond the name of "Robert Berret", nothing is known about this relative or his wife. Because of extensive research, it can be said for a fact that Robert Berrett ca 1604 is the first relative to appear on the pedigree of the "Berretts of Down Berrett Lane" and thousands of other Berretts. Robert's birthdate is estimated. He could have been born between 1570-1616, but was probably born between 1590-1615. The third son of Robert Berrett (1604) was christened "Robert" 3 Mar 1633 in Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, England.

Wiltshire County Cemetery Records, England | Genealogy. First Steps in Family History. Everyone has a different way of approaching their family history, and a unique motive for doing so. For many people, it is natural human curiosity, for others a need for some kind of escapism from the routine of everyday life, or perhaps a search for identity and a desire to learn more about our make-up, to discover who we are and where we have come from.

What are you aiming at? You have lots of possible avenues to research, but at the outset you need to decide whether, for instance, you will begin by tracing your father’s line as far back as possible, or perhaps you will try to tackle your direct female line (your mother’s mother, her mother, and so on). Taking the second option will mean that the surname you are searching for will change with every generation. You might decide to research each of your grandparents, giving you four different surnames to explore, or perhaps try to discover all you can about each of your great, great grandparents.
