We aim to find links between existing genealogies and so act as an impetus for further traditional research. Furthermore, researched existing links can be verified or questioned, and more robust family trees will result. We also wish to explore the deep origins of the Ramseys and Ramsays, ultimately linking with other lines across the world, and identify the locations of the European origins of our forefathers. As part of this we expect to be able to estimate the number of Ramsey/Ramsay founding fathers with descendents alive today.
