Dad has signed up on myheritage.com1 and from there we can see other people's family trees that intersect with ours... found some connections to Richard PORTER who is one of my 6x great-grandfathers, going up my Nan's Mum's side. We have him being the son of a Richard Porter and Joan Warner, not sure where these details come from but this person2 seems to have the same Richard Porter, all the same children, some more details, but different parents... so who is right? I have to find out where our info came from, then where theirs did, do some research basically instead of just copying and pasting it all off websites...
[tree=226]
Just noticed my naming of the relationships between relatives seems to have broken, perhaps since we got the new gedcom export from the new version of Dad's tree software, it should be saying "6x great-grandfather" on Richard Porter's page. Also possibly missing some links to some source references, will take a look tonight...
While I'm here talking about Richard Porter I searched my old emails to try and find where we got this info from and found this link3 quite old:

Naish/Porter marriage davidtaylor209 (View posts) Posted:9 Apr 2000 12:00PM GMT Surnames: NAISH, PORTER Hi Harry Your Thomas & Martha also had a son Thomas bapt 1/4/1771 at East Meon. Martha was bapt 10/2/1748 at East Meon I think the dr of Richard Porter & Mary Cleer who married on 29/10/1745 http://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/MKS7-8ZF International Genealogical Index (IGI), database, FamilySearch (accessed 2014-11-27), entry for Richard Porter). ]]. The reason I am not sure is that there is another marriage of Richard Porter & a Sarah in 1742, she may have died or there may be 2 Richard's in the same small village. Richard & Mary also had Mary 1746, Elizabeth 1752, Anne & Olive 1755.
All from the IGI4, but worth checking.
Regards
David Taylor
so looks like there might have been two Richard Porters of the same age in the same village at the same time which could have caused someone confusion...
