I am willing to answer questions about the English family however please note almost everything I have researched is already here
on Pomeroy Twigs. I do have notes & additional research but it is invariably from before the end of the C18th
There is NO database on this site however there are a great many BMDs which I add to from time to time.
They are records which I gather along the way, by county or place, which anyone can collect.
If you use anything from this site on a website please be polite enough to acknowledge the fact -Annie Pomeroy of Pomeroy Twigs -

Eltwid or Eltweed Pomeroy was a colonist who migrated from Beaminster in Dorset around 1620 -
For years his line formed the basis of a connection to the armorial tree of Pomeroy.
This connection was later regarded as debatable HOWEVER more recent DNA now says he was of the family at Sandridge and Brixham, although the link from Devon to Dorset is still missing
1066 and All That
Ralph or Radulphus de la Pomerai was awarded 58 Devonshire manors in Devon and at least 2 in Somerset
In 1068 for his support of the Duke William of Normandy , known as William the Bastard, the Conqueror and as William I of England. William was the illegitimate son of the unmarried Robert, Duke of Normandy, by his mistress Herleva and he was a contender for the throne of England,
which was held by his childless cousin Edward the Confessor.

I am always interested to hear from anyone who uncovers new facts or documents that might help connect the dots.
Twigs does NOT have a database of families & largely has not explored modern families- I.E. after the C19th.
There are a couple & that information is on the site.
