Places shown on this map

This ancestor map plots 94 geolocated places across 37 documented generations, tracing the Gurney line’s movement from the Pays de Bray in Normandy, across the manors and parishes of Norfolk and the neighbouring English counties, to its later homes in North America. Every mapped location is listed below by region, with the ancestor and generation it is tied to — a text index of the same data the map draws, readable without an interactive map.
