The second Emmposium: the family tree has grown so much and Emm and Emms families descended on Bratton, North Wiltshire to view the tree. Our branch begins at John Emme of Sutton Veny died 1581. We have finally completed it up to date from Harry Benjamin born 1863 (who was the last ancestor on the Emmposium 2006 tree) as far down as Isabella, Daniella, Elliott and Florence all born 2007: that is the extra piece on the table for Adele to take away and record.

A damp Sunday morning in the churchyard of the Congregational church, Broadchalke where there are several family graves. Thankfully this was not the torrential downpour forecast and spirits were still high, helped by roast lunch and chats in the Queen's Head afterwards.

Not an Emm or Emms (as far as we know), just a peaceful pastoral scene in Broadchalke as we strolled down the road to the CofE church.
