For most people, knowing their family history up to third or fourth generation is already enough.

As he stated, “These documents not only give readers a glimpse of previously unknown Botsford family members, but also illuminate the roles they played in everyday life in 1500s England.”

Motivated by his visit to England in 2006, Botsford spent six years digging through old records to link the dots, trace his ancestors’ footsteps, and shed light on Botsford paternal ancestry. Intentionally, he wanted to introduce to his children and grandchildren their past and the origin of their ancient name. Moreover, he included the complexities and realizations of the research process in this excursion.

In connection with the method of genealogical research, this book applied modern researching tools to complement a new period of discovery to the previously available ancestral information. Through this meticulous research, readers are warranted the best opportunities of discovery. Botsford discusses his success and failures in tracking down ancient documents and relatives with name variations.

Comprehensively written, this book is for those who are interested in genealogy or family history societies including the Botsford’s. He added, “Whether you’re a Botsford, a Bottysford, a Bottisford or a member of another clan, ‘Journey to Chalgrave’ is a wonderful exploration of the family tree.”
