Ham(m)on(d)(s) Family Tree

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 Pdmore (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 be under construction.

There are three different files to choose from, all in PDF format. The first is the Privatized Version without notes. This version does not contain such infromation as Baptisms and Christenings (which are not to be confused with birthdates, which are included).  The second file is the Privatized Version with notes.  The last version is a a Book in PDF format that I wrote in the Family Tree Maker and it contains the privatized version with notes of the John Hamond Family Tree (Ambrose Hammon).  Any computer should have the program (Adobe Acrobat Reader) that will open these files.

Privatized Version w/o notes (128 pages)

Almost directly west of Norwich you find East Dereham and west along the same road you'll find Swaffam.  Scarning and Wendling lie between East Dereham and Swaffham.  See the map below.

While the Hamond family resided in Norfolk, most of that time was spent in the Scarning-Wendling area, where records of marriages, births, Christenings, and deaths can be found.  Robert Hamond (~1534-1606) is also listed as "of East Dereham".  Francis Hamond (1590-1652) is found on a list as being mustered at Swaffham under the Earl of Northumberland in 1640.
