Hi I'm from that little ol place across the pond, called England, I am an Aley, and have been building my family tree up on Genesreunited.com. I have traced my line back to Henry Aley c1700, who married a Mary Tarling, in 1727. between this couple and myself there are 100s of Aley's, most of which I either have on my tree, or know about but can not fit them in, The Aley's all seem to come from the Essex area, with just a few coming from Hertfordshire, the next county, what I'm trying to work out now, is which of these Aleys first left our shore for the USA,if we could find that link?,then we could have a hell of a family tree between us, any one got any info/ideas, one last thing, I have seen the name Aley in records dating back to 1550, look forward to hearing from some of you with your thoughts and info, take care, Mick Aley
