My father is Ernie (Ernest) Easter, and has been tracing the genealogy of our family, and related families, for about forty years. I have recently taken over the research, mainly of my husband's family tree, and expanding the family history of both trees.
If you are tracing related families, and want to exchange information, please use the contact form on the right. You can read about our most recent findings on my blog.
The name Easter has nothing to do with the Christian festival, or the time of year. It means "of [from] the East", and our branch of the family originated in Aldeburgh, on the East Suffolk coast.
An interesting ancestor
Sir William Blackstone, (July 10, 1723 - February 14, 1780) was an English jurist and professor who produced the historical and analytic treatise on the common law called Commentaries on the Laws of England, first published in four volumes over 1765-1769.
