Welcome to the Dengate website, which was first launched in April 2002. It is now undergoing a much-needed overhaul, so please bear with any broken links and blank pages! In particular, the upgrade to the 'Family Tree' pages have required me to start from scratch, so this will be a slow process of being updated. So, if you can't locate yourself / your Dengate ancestor they will hopefully be appearing shortly! Once completed, however, new additions to the tree will much simpler.
​
In 2005 I registered the Dengate and Dungate names with the Guild of One-Name Studies in an effort to extend the research further and to offer the findings to a greater number of people. The study was also registered with The Surname Society in 2019.
​
If you are new to this website then I would suggest using the links above to navigate your way around. Below you will find brief explanations of what you will find on each page.
​
History - This page has details of the potential origins of the Dengate / Dungate families and how the family name has spread across the globe. This part of the website will be added to in the coming weeks to include maps and further information on statistics and distribution.
​
Family Trees - This section incorporates all the major trees (Wittersham Tree, Ticehurst tree and Rye tree and in time will also include Dungate trees.
​
People - this page provides details of individuals where I have extra information / photographs / stories / videos beyond the basic genealogical information.
​
Places & Events - this page features some of the locations associated with the Dengate / Dungate families, such as villages or towns where many of the family lived, or churches they attended, business they ran, etc. Also on this page are significant events featuring members of the family.
​
DNA Project - This page offers information on the Dengate / Dungate DNA project which has been running since 2006. Several Dengate males have been tested against several Dungate males with the result that the two families have a definite link in the past.
​
Copyright - Please read this page carefully before attempting to remove any material from this website. This is very important as some of the information, photographs, etc are held by third parties.
​
I hope you enjoy looking around the website. If you have any comments to make about the website or any questions about the family then please email me. I would also welcome any new information, photographs, etc - dengate@one-name.org
