This started off as a way of recording the information already known about the  immediate family and relations of my parents, Bill and Joan Jollans.

It then expanded when we discovered that Bill's grandfather, John Washington  Baron was present in the excellent 'Barons in Great Harwood' family tree on  tribalpages set up by Flo Montgomery.  That traces this line of the family back  to the 16th century, and I have copied across some of the most relevant  information.

Since then a lot of information on the Kosel family in Germany has been added.   The connnection here is through Sabine Jollans (nee Kosel) who is married to my  brother Phil.  So without doing any primary research, we now have a large  number of entries.  More information and connections would be welcome.

More recent work in 2011/12 has discovered more information about the roots of  the Jollans family in Lincolnshire, going back to my great-great-great grandfather  John Jollands, born around 1800, and his son James Jollands, who married Betsey  Mitchell.  Any more information or connections to this branch of the family  would be great, or any information about the family of James Watson, who married  Ada Maria Jollans in 1905.
