 England
The ancient Anglo-Saxon culture once found in Britain is the soil from which the many generations of the Badgeldor family have grown. The name Badgeldor was given to a member of the family who was a knight, who in the exercise of chivalry has won his spurs, but hopes to be elected into some order.

Migration of the Badgeldor familyFor political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad.
