Family history - national, international and beyond!

21/12/2011

My great great-great-great grandfather's family surname was ROTTENBURY, variously RODDENBERRY/RODENBERY/RODENBY; he lived most of his life in Sunderland, though he was born in Dorset c.1770. I have recently discovered a distant cousin who tells me that some years ago he corresponded with one of our relatives in America, namely RODENBERRY, creator of the science fiction series Star Trek.

 

It was with great interest therefore that I read the article in the December issue which mentioned Gene, stating that his body was cremated and his ashes taken up in a satellite and shot out into the atmosphere.

 

Whenever in my researches I discover the last resting place of a relative I like to visit and take a photograph but in this case!

 

If any reader has an interest in this name I would be pleased to hear from them............

 

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE?
