| My father did the family history but sadly he has passed away. From what I remember we originated from north nottinghamshire and migrated to sheffield at time of industrial revolution and we have no connection to the Franks in the Leeds area. |

| I believe we share the same branch of the Franks family ie Thomas Franks and Elizabeth Cryer. I have commented as above. Can you please let me know if you have further info on this branch. Thank you. Chrissie |

| Yes the Franks were a Germanic tribe from what I understand and the name dates back many centuries and I believe around c400AD. I read that Charlemagne was King of the Franks. I think they were originally Catholic and came over to England from the Low Countries but I’m not sure exactly when. This is what I’m trying to find out. I’ve traced my branch of the Franks back to Thomas Franks, Butcher B1753 from Chapel Allerton, Leeds mar to Elizabeth Cryer. I think we belong to the same branch of Franks and would like to hear from to confirm and also to see how far back this can be taken as I’d like to trace exactly in Europe the Franks came from & why they went to Yorkshire. |

| I’m researching my fam.tree & got from my Grandfather Frederick LEFRANC (aka Robert Franks) c1867-1944 back to his father (my Gt Gdf. Francis Franks c1838-1880 & 2 x Gt Gdf Humphrey Fletcher Franks & 3 x Gt Gdf Thomas Franks, Butcher B1753 Chapel Allerton, Leeds mar. to Elizabeth Cryer. I’m trying to find out when and where this branch of the Franks family originated from though I suspect is 1 of the Low Countries ie Normandy, Belgium, Holland or part of Germany. Does anyone here have Thomas and Elizabeth in their family tree? |

| My father was born and lived at 428 North Adams Street, Carthage Illinois, USA, in the early 1920s. He served as a Sargent in the United States Army Air Force, based at Prestwick and Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland during the Second World War, from 1942 to 1945. Would anyone have any further details of his family before or after the War? |

| The Franks you mention are my ancestors as well. The parents of George Franks (b. 1810) were George Franks (b.1787, d.1861) and Ann Woods (b.1783, d.1861). George Sr's parents were Thomas Franks (b.1752, d.1832) and Elizabeth Cryer (b.1764, d.1844). All lived in Chapel Allerton in Leeds. That's as far back as I have been able to ascertain. |

| Searching for ancestors of Thomas Franks, born in Chapel Allerton in 1882. His parents were Thomas Franks and Emma Grayson Franks. Thomas was the only child of John Franks of Chapel Allerton and Ann Sharow Holmes of Boston Spa. The Franks family seems to have been associated with dairy farming. I believe that the parents of John (chr. April 1832) were George Franks and Isabella Sanderson. I would appreciate any information you may have on these individuals, if any. Thanks very much, in advance. |

| Hello Albert, It is great to find that you are on the internet. I have come to a stop with my research as I cannot find any more information about CHRISTOPHER FRANKE WHO DIED 1582. I hope that you and your family are well. Barbara |

| I have a lot of Franks listed on my site. My earliest ancestor was Robert Franks, Sr. listed as born in Virginia, USA in 1655. Do you know if any of your ancestors migrated to America around the time of your first Robert Franks? |
