Rudden.org was registered back in 1999 as a personal genealogical project to learn more about our Rudden family history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It started by emailing anyone with the Rudden name, a splatter gun approach, but nonetheless quite successful. We quite quickly managed to track down cousins living in the US, which outlined a clear history of at least some of my family going back 150 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, this approach also meant that we found ourselves in touch with a significant group of other Rudden’s with no direct knowledge of how we may be related. The dead ends that many of us have arrived at in our ancestors line, can only ever be moved forward with knowledge from outside our known family which I suppose is the same for many other Rudden’s out there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, we cannot publish all the information entrusted to me through those mass emailing\u00e2\u20ac™s almost ten years ago when I contacted Rudden’s around the world. But we will be re-contacting many of those who did write to me then, and ask them to come here, and publish what they feel happy to disclose regarding their family trees in the hope that some new, meaningful connections can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this site will allow users to comment on existing posts, if there are any specific areas you would like to see on here please get in touch and we will see what can be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also worth pointing out that\u00c2\u00a0caution\u00c2\u00a0should be exercised in mentioning\u00c2\u00a0<\/b>living family relatives\u00c2\u00a0without their permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
