Strangways-Towneley Tree
This covers members of the British Peerage and Landed Gentry from the Middle Ages to the 20th century starting from the Strangeway / Strangways and the Towneley family pedigrees. You can see a simple list of surnames included here - A-L and M-Z but not that this list is not updated as often as the Personal Ancestral File (PAF) database.
The full database is a single, large linked family tree where all the families are connected - by normal descendancy or by a marriage at some point in their history. This linking includes earlier generations of the linked family; in other words it is an “all related” family tree.
Because the marriage links go back as far as the 1300’s the extended tree spreads out across many of the famous families of Britain. This also means that the majority of pedigrees have been published already and are probably available on other web sites. However there are also extra entries that have been added directly from printed sources and do not appear on any of the major genealogy web sites.
You can download the full tree in a zipped Personal Ancestral File (PAF) format here..
Note: The size of this PAF file is around 20Mb even with compression. The version available here is dated 7Mar-2012 - and as corrections / updates are made newer versions will be be uploaded.
The PAF format is a standard format used by the PAF genealogy software that is available without charge from FamilySearch.org. If you have other genealogy software and it cannot accept PAF format records then a version can be made available in Gedcom format instead. This is the most widely used format for exchanging family trees - but there are differences in the way that it is processed by different software packages so some detail may “get lost in translation”.
Get in touch if you really must have the family trees as a Gedcom file .... even though it would be easier to install the PAF software and then export just the bits that you want.
