I Just finished your first Saxon Stories book and did enjoy it very much. I noticed in your epilogue that you tie your family back to the real Ughtread. I am diligently attempting to trace my family history and have it all at least back to the point Thomas Outerbridge left England for Bermuda sometime before 1629. I have the semi complete tree for 13 generations. From what I can gather though Outerbridge was at some point Ughtredbridge and before that Ughtred which might make us cousins if that is so. I was wondering if you had a scholarly opinion regarding the history of my name.
