This homepage is dedicated to the Keates, Gorecki and Ramo families.

We are not getting any younger and two strands of the family have no heirs to the family name, so I created this site to keep their memories alive and also to tell the world what a great family unit we are!

This website has grown enormously over the past years; pages have been added and deleted and it has become a web tree in itself. We have so many branches on the site, so if you wish to find a specific page, please refer to the site map for easy navigation.

Within these pages, you will find about our family and interests, poetry, photos, military, links to some great sites and even a whole section on John Keats, the famous poet. We are also in the process of updating the website to incorporate one of our favourite hobbies - visiting filming locations of our favourite films.

If you are interested in Genealogy or would like to contact other members of the family, please feel free join the forum.

This site is no way complete at this stage. I am always tweaking and adding bits and bobs. If you have any questions, please e-mail me: roly@keatesbyname.com
