How should I refer to a branch?
The question arises because many of the Micklethwaites and Mickelwaits in the UK and USA descend from Jonathan of Hemsworth born about 1660 – ID JM600.
Checking my data against John Micklethwait’s I noticed that he has this branch going 2 generations further back than Jonathan. Having added data from the will in question I can take the branch that bit further back too.
Now I have to refer to this branch as descending from Richard of Cawthorne born about 1604 – ID JM1025. All change!
