Research, Information and GEDCOM

            This section gives details and access to

  1. how you can locate your ancestors in the 'hoareorigins' website
  2. some genealogies arising from current research, notably by William Acton, the genealogist working with C Hoare & Co of Fleet Street, London, and by Richard J Hoare (brother of David G Hoare of this website), and
  3. some genealogies which are informal anthologies of data collected and merged from a variety of publically available sources. These are included for convenient reference and their accuracy is not guaranteed and should be checked where necessary.
  4. downloading GEDCOM files.
(1) How you can locate your ancestors in the HoareOrigins website.

         If you have any Hore/Hoar/Hoare ancestors born before 1911, you can download and search the spreadsheet 'Born 1880+' which includes the 1300 Hore/Hoar/Hoare male descendants born 1880-1911 for any matches. You may spot a matching entry directly from the alphabetically listing, or you may the 'search' or 'rank' facilities to search for fathers' names, etc. Your matching will taking you direct to the relevant chapter (eg 'Genealogy Hoare 06') and the relevant family (eg 'Catherington') for which you can find the relevant 'Genealogy Catherington' within which you search the details of the family. You download a GEDCOM load and I hope you may sign up to a DNA analysis.

(2) Research genealogies:

            Captain Edward Hoare’s “Early History and Genealogy of the Families of Hore and Hoare” (1883) was for a century the principal published and unchallenged genealogy of these families. It commenced in 1330 with the family of Hore of Risford (near Chagford in Devon). In the early 1600s he showed the family dividing and spreading across England and Ireland as ‘Pedigree A’ (Edward Hoare, the ancestor of the family of Hoare of Annabella, corresponding to family K01 in the H600 Project) and ‘Pedigree B’ (Henry Hoare of Walton, the ancestor of Sir Richard Hoare, the founder of Hoare’s Bank, corresponding to family K02 in the H600 project). Since 1989, it had been shown by a combination of genealogy and Y-DNA research that, contrary to Captain Edward’s supposition, both Pedigree A and Pedigree B are descended from a common ancestor at or near Greens Norton near Towcester in Northamptonshire.

            William Acton’s research is focussed on exploring and clarifying this area.

            Richard J Hoare has focussed in Edward Hoare and his immediate descendants in Co. Cork, Ireland

(4) GEDCOM files:

           You can download the GED files for the Genealogy files of the Hore/Hoar/Hoare families. These can be uploaded into your own software, and the NOTES fields contain detailed information, not included in the Genealogy files, about the sources of the data, information about individuations, and the methods and any problems arising in founding the family list. Download the Genealogy Source Devon/Bucks files which in their NOTES fields list the full titles for the abbreviations generally used in NOTES fields.
