• Notes

  Brooks Family In October 2023 I was working my way through my Ancestry DNA matches. The hope was that there would be a connection to the Lomas (Pender) family as the Brooks were members of the Pender Troupe. My contact for the Brooks family is Vanessa Emerson, granddaughter of Henry Brooks and Alice Murray As far as I can ascertain, there is no familial links to the rest of my tree.
