Been starting to piece together a family tree and on the Berkley side of things, this is as far back as I've been able to go: Israel Berkley marrying Lydia Shoemaker and having heaps of kids, maybe as many as twenty. My dad says he was seven feet tall, and he was a farmer from the Somerset area. If anyone wants to ramp this discussion up and find me either some ancestors or distant cousins, please reply and we'll see what connections we can make! Cheers, Brendan
