My name is Leslie (Forrest) Cucino and I live in Rhode Island.

Both of my parents were born and raised in New Jersey and I have many family ties to New Jersey, SE Penna, Delaware and Maryland dating back to the 1600's.

I used to make frequent trips to my areas of interest, but by far the best trip was to England in 2006 to research my Godfrey and Bourne family lines. I was able to locate the grave of my 3rd GGF, the Rev. Jacob Bourne, at the Grittleton Chapel, Grittleton, Wiltshire. My profile picture is my mom, Adelaide (Bourne) Forrest standing next to his grave marker. In Lydd, England information I gathered allowed me to dispel a long held belief that Benjamin Godfrey of Cape May was an Englishman with a very impressive genealogy. This led to a collaboration with Jamie Hand of the Godfrey origins which was published in the Cape May County Museums Blue Book!

I have a public tree up on Ancestry, (Forrest, Happersett/Habbersett, Ford, Bourne) that anyone can browse to see if we have names in common :-)
