Ancestral Chains (DNA Part I of VIII) Bishop Bloodline

Music money madness & other mysterious things. This is the karmic tale of the author adventurer martial artist & time traveller Mark D Bishop; an objective look at his genetic ancestral past. It is DNA family history in fascinating detail a journey through ancestral time when industrious creative hard work births marriages and burials focused around church life. The reader begins the excursion in a grocer's shop in upmarket Teddington on Thames before being transported to Rochester on the Medway with its Norman castle and cathedral; then along the Roman Fosse Way to Chatham which once was host to the Royal Naval Dockyard. Woodworking trades such as cart-wheelwrights & cabinetmakers are imbedded in the ancestral search with Kentish & Sussex surnames;the Wrens who went to America the Mitchells who were shipwrights. Ancestry often has a darker side too necessitating a trip through the sordid conditions of 19th century 'madhouses' and a realisation that lovemaking never really changes.
