Masterton Stories
Occasionally, the rather dry information contained in Births, Deaths, Marriages and Last Wills & Testaments is enlivened by some other published reference. These add colour and substance to the bare bones of genealogical research. Here are a few Mastertons in print - famous, infamous, or just worthy souls with biographies recorded in the annals of their chosen career. All of them were players, principal or minor, in events that were recorded by harmless drudges and lodged in archives to form a rich mine for the benefit of future researchers. The harmless drudgery of website assembly has brought these together!
