Family Finder First Name:  The Tacon Family Tree  Updated
November 9, 2000  About Our Family Research  Our family has
lived in Gibraltar for several generations, arriving from
England in the late 19th or early 20th century. My father Albert
Tacon,(followed a few years later by his sister Muriel) was born
in Romford in Essex in 1941, due to an evacuation procedure in
Gibraltar during World War II. His mother, Concha, was Spanish
and met my wonderful grandfather, William, as he patrolled the
frontier between Spain and Gibraltar. Concha, who I never met,
but am told I am very much a like to, experienced both the
traumas of the Franco Civil War in Spain and the bombings in
London during the Blitz. This was where my father was born and
it wasn't until several years later that he and his mother, and
his aunt Victoria Tacon, returned to our Rock where they were
reunited with William, my grandfather. Until then they had been
strangers, seperated due to the war but they were to build a
strong friendship over the years
