Ancestors Tours (returning home)
Around the world, the people of East Anglia have been settling and making new beginnings.
To the USA, travelled the ancestors of the Paines, Pettus, Shelton’s and Lincolns to states like Virginia. Later they were followed by many ‘War Brides’, who settled in the States after the ‘Friendly Invasion’ of East Anglia by the service personnel of the US forces from 1942 to the present day.
Add to this some of the 4000 convicts sent to Australia, many never to return, the 10 pounds POMS. Then with our close links to Europe and the influence of the spice trade, we find East Anglian families as far afield as India and South Africa.
