I searched a number of published indices of early 17th century English records last year in an attempt to determine Peter Jett's ancestry. I could find no evidence to place Peter among the other Jett families. My guess is that if there are any surviving records of his ancestry, they will be found among the many unindexed records available in repositories like the PRO. I had considered enlisting a professional genealogist to conduct further research. I presented an outline of this project to a FASG who I had used on other projects and he told me that the research could easily run into hundreds of hours and that there would be no guarantee of success. So I shelved the project. While I encourage you to continue your efforts, I hope that you understand the magnitude of this project.
