My parents, older sister and I returned to America on a ship from Germany. My mother said half of us were seated sick for most of the trip lol but to imagine this man and his wives and their individual experiences on the seas… this is how I like to “do” genealogy.. to imagine myself in their footsteps

@Captain John Rolfe

I got caught in all the traffic yesterday in Richmond when I went to the Short Pump Shopping Center for an Eye appointment and I started noticing the street names mirror a lot of family names I recognize. John Rolfe Pkwy, Streets like Franklin, Williams, Matoaca. Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, Chester, Petersburg, Matoaca, Mechanicsville, Ashland are laden with historical markers. I plan to visit the Science Museum of Richmond and perhaps take a few pictures and buy a souvenir or two when the COVID is safe to do so.

and Henry Rolfe, of London the same as Henry Rolfe of Narford ...
adding sibling lines is very helpful!

The one Henry married into my Utterback and the other my Reade

I would imagine it was a HUGE deal to disconnect from John Rolfe of Heacham

It's not really a big deal to disconnect the son John Rolfe from his father John Wolfe. The disconnection was because they could find no direct explicit documents to connect them, not that they actually proved they were in no way connected. That's a huge distinction in fact.

They could actually do that with the majority of trees for everyone, before the official written censuses started including children's names. Plenty of married woman in the listed censuses also lack marriage certificates and the maiden names they are given often rest on circumstantial evidence. The disconnecting all those trees, it's a not really anything more than stating the probabilities are not 100% certain but they are still very high. Even written records that are supposed to be direct evidence aren't 100% probable because of mistakes and lying.

I do not see a profile on geni for the following person. Any Ideas?
