The earliest Clusker I have in my tree is a Patrick Clusker born in 1821 in Ireland, and from the number of Patrick Clusker's I have found as a result of my numerous searches I am convinced that if they all went back to Ireland, the island would probably sink :-( |

I recently discovered the grandaughter of a lady born the same year and in the same town and with the same name as my Nan. They were in fact 3rd cousins born a few streets away and the grandaughter grew up v near me. Also, I found my missing Boden living in the USA and the origins of my Darlows x |

No real brickwalls attacked, although we live in hope that one day the missing deaths will pop out of the ether. |

I would firstly like to say a big thank you to the many volunteers on here who do a marvellous job, keep up the excellent help you provide. They have provided me with valuable and very useful information allowing me to expand my tree. |

Two brick walls have been crumbling - one Is the family rumoured (very very remote) cousinship with Shelley on my side, now got all the details - and on OH's side the birth certificate of his great-grandfather actually had his mother's maiden name on it. started tracking it and found her ancestors are from Ayrshire, so I have lot of Scottish clues but have to navigate my way through Scottish records which are new to me. All of which are going to take big chunks of time especially on A--y where they kindly flag up a million possible connections while you're putting the first one in! So I have got to somehow plan a few clear hours to get a start - but it is a thrill when you do get these break throughs. |

Still trying to trace both grandfathers. My paternal grandfather would appear not to exist before 1904 and as for my maternal grandfather I only know his surname as my gran was very inconsiderate and never married him. Mind you she was married to someone else at the time!! |

I am also one of those who now mostly search for other people's rellies, got involved in a one named study last year and that has kept me busy, but on my own tree I have been stuck for a few years now, and it's not from the lack of time I spend in Record Offices! |

I seem to be hitting brick walls whichever way I go on my tree, so am now coming back down with the hope of finding someone with a big sledgehammer :-D |

Good evening everyone. I can now go further into researching my OH's family as on our trip to the Falkland Islands one of his neices has downloaded a lot of information to a memory stick. We now have the family tree for his mother's side of the family. |

I am at a standstill and waiting for the next census or any new records to appear online. Really I should start doing some footwork as there are not too many Irish Catholic records online which is where I am stumped at the moment. |
