I am from Dunedin, New Zealand,and have just taken over doing our Family tree from my mother. I think the internet is great advantage when looking for members of one's Family. As I was told some years ago, If you are a Seccombe no matter how the spelling, you will if you can go back far enough end up at Devon Engand or Cornwall England. The seccombe farm in Germansweek Devon has been in the same Family for over six hundred years. The original Seccombe's who left the farm and came to Australia & New Zealand were Richard, William, Harriet, Charlotte all of them sons & daughters of Roger Seccombe & Charity Palmer.
