Getting Back to Our Roots

This Grinter family has its roots in Dorset, England.  In particular we typically descend from a village, Whitchurch Canonicorum.  Like London, Whitchurch Canonicorum has a saint buried in the local church (Edward the Confessor--Westminster, London; St. Candida--Whitchurch Canonicorum).

These villages are very close together, but to date, geneaologists are unaware of the links among these families.
