This site is undergoing major reconstruction. For those who have been here before, there may be some things missing. These missing items may or may not be reintroduced as I evaluate their importance to this site.
Thanks ... Rod Hammons
I am proud be a part of this vast family who can claim heritage back to 16th century Norfolk, England. Any substantial genealogy probably cannot lay praise at the feet of one individual and the Ham(m)on(d)(s) Family is no exception. Many people have devoted time, effort, and money to help build the family tree, among them are MAJ Stratton Owen Hammon (1904-97), Ensign Neal Owen Hammon (1925-), CPT Anthony Hamond (of England), and Freda Podmore (professional researcher in England). I also want to make a special note concerning Jim Mains of Alabama. Mr. Mains amassed a huge database of our Ham(m)on(d)(s) family when he thought he was related to us. Mr. Mains discovered, through DNA that he is not directly related to our lineage. He has collected a huge amount of material of which I now have a copy. This information has been incorporated into my database. The software that I have decided upon is The Family Tree Maker, since it seems to be the most popular. This is an on-going and dynamic project that may find periods of inactivity, but will never be finished. Consider this section always under construction.
Databases
There are different files to choose from, all in PDF format. All are in the Privatized Version, which means all information pertaining to living individuals are excluded, except their name. Another file is the Privatized Version with notes; this file is large, containing several hundred pages. Any computer should have the program (Adobe Acrobat Reader) that will open these files. These files can be opened by clikcing on the appropriate link in the menu at the upper left of the page or on the links below.

Scarning, Norfolk, England
Norfolk is the large red shaded area. The London area is the smaller red shaded area.
Dereham (East Dereham) is in the middle just above the A47 (green road across the middle of the map). Scarning and Wendling are the two communities where our oldest known ancestors were born and raised. They are found directly west of Dereham along the A47.
