Chris Ashman b. Jan 1949  © B G AshmanI am Chris Ashman and very pleased to meet you. I was born in Kent and and developed this site after a spell helping my parents trace our family tree. We then found Ashman families all over the place who like us, didn't know the others existed, we have now sorted out many of the relationships and find there are possibly 3 lines that don't join Yet!!!
Since then we have gone global with contacts from descendants of local Ashmans now scattered all over the world. Below you will find links to picture albums, text and video submitted by our county cousins. It is growing all the time, if you don't see what you want, then submit it.
Please contact me if you would like to add relevant information or links to the site.
