This web site is designed to follow many family lines and locales beginning with the period of WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR - sliding right into the contemporary time frames of English and U.S. history. So join us, engage and explore. As a visitor, we ask that you respect the copyrights © of authors and contributors. If you use any content herein, please cite the author and the World Wide Newburgh Project in your family report, or on other venues, online or elsewhere. Please note: Categories on the menu bar above, are also individual pages independent of the drop down lists which further dissect the category.
The Durdle Door, is the literal keyhole to Lulworth Cove on the coast of Dorset, England. The link above will take you to the web site for Lulworth Castle, which is a 17th century castle/manor. This building is more contemporary than the history covered on this web site. The original castle was a motte and bailey stronghold, and was thought to have been modernized from the 12th century forward until the early 1600's. The current castle was probably built from the original, repurposed stone work, probably right on top of the earliest edifices. E. Lulworth has been under study by the Dorset Castles Research Group (DCRG) for several years, with assistance from English Heritage.
The Newburgh's East Lulworth castle and manor was situated high above the Jurassic Coastline less than a mile from the cliffs overlooking the water in a similar location to the current castle. Standing in the tower of St. Andrew's Church, one can see the sea. It is said the castle and surrounding villages traded with pirates who anchored in the cove. The tower is the only surviving early medieval architecture on the property, with the exception of some foundations of from the 14th century.
The Newburgh family descendants are numerous and have spread across the world. Permutations of the name have evolved and weathered the test of time. Dozens of spellings will confuse the historical researcher until the places and people bind them together. It is a familiarization process. Some common spellings are Newbury, Newberry, Newborough and others.
The medieval Newburghs were descended from the Norman BEAUMONT family, who were known to have been cousins of The Conqueror. The earls of Warwick were belted in the later part of the 11th century by William Rufus during his reign. Cadet lines from the earls migrated into the West Country along with their Beaumont kin.
SEVENTEENTH CENTURY IMMIGRANTS
The drop down lists will show some of the places where immigrants from England migrated beginning in the 17th century; and where some became the colonial forefathers of contemporary families present in the United States.
This web site is currently under construction, but in the coming months, an older MYFAMILY.com website will migrate to these pages. This web site is an effort to share information, but not all information will be public.
ACCESS
Some pages will be public, while other pages will be for MEMBERS ONLY. Members are defined as researchers who are actively following their family lines in collaboration with one another on the site, and with the administrator. Becoming a member you will benefit by having a community. Collaboration and reciprocity are key to being a member of the WWNP research team. We value proper documentation and encourage anyone who does historical/genealogical research to adhere to proper information gathering and recording of the same. This requirement is key to joining as a member. If you wish to join us, please use the contact form and fill in the required information and submit. Your application will be considered based on the excellence of your application, and your creativity in locating new information. Member research will not be shared publically, but a list of families and their locales and current researchers are available under the Research Interests tab. These researchers may or may not be willing to collaborate with new seekers - it is totally up to them.
DNA Project
Since 2009 the administrator has worked with several DNA organizations in obtaining YDNA for Newberry families. While the test group is small, it has been steadily growing. If you wish to participate go to the contact form and inquire.
As administrator of this site, I have actively studied this family for nearly two decades. It is a fascinating diverse group. Have a look around, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy learning some new history.
