John Lister Keep was born in Finedon, Northamptonshire, England, but now lives in north-east London.  His lineage goes back though 23 generations to Walter Kep, born about 1230 in Astwood, Buckinghamshire,  England.  Many members of his line are now living in Australia following Richard Keep’s transportation in 1807 as a convict.  John has been tracing his family line for many years and did a lot of his research with the late Dr. Philip Keep, who was responsible for tracing the line back to Walter.  His e-mail address is keepdna@yahoo.co.uk.
