Stephanie, everything you need to find out more about your mother's family is here. You need your mother's birth cert first of all, then your grandmother's birth cert.

Stephanie,

Which certificates have you actually got from GRO?

Which ones are you going to get so that you can find out more information about your family?

BUY some certs......and come back AFTER you have got them

ok i try look at mum birth certificate ,i ant got none on my side but need find out when my nan was born from there i could find her parents .

Will you PLEASE take notice of what people are telling you - you keep posting but are obviously NOT reading the advice......................so what is the point?

Get Winifred's MARRIAGE cert.............!!!!!

Must agree with everyone. You will need to buy a cert before you can safely move on. Genealogy can get quite expensive ; but sometimes you cannot avoid buying a certificate. If you dont then you can never be sure your tree is accurate.....

I did this once. I was doing my mothers tree and could not afford another certificate for a while. Using the census I developed a branch for what should have been my mums gt aunt (I think). Trouble was she dissapeared without trace from the census and Marriage /death index. For months it bugged me and I spent many many weeks tring to find her .In the end I decided to purchase her certificate .. Low and behold she was not a rellie. Seems her father was using a name that he had not been born with and just happened to be the same as the person in my tree. Weeks of work ended up in the bin .
Sadly a few people "stole" the information off my tree and put it on their own. I did contact them but they could not be bothered to remove that branch "because it is only a very remote ancestor"

the moral of this story.

Buy a certificate when proof is unavailable it is the only safe way to move on.

Don't assume.

Never ever copy a persons tree; the likely hood of it having mistakes is reasonable high. Use it as a guide only.

Hello babyface2008

I think you may create a larger problem than you solve.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to familiarise yourself with the Genes site and what it has to offer.

You say you want to start 'doing' your mums side of the family, but in actual fact you are asking others to do it for you.

The fun is that you do this for yourself so once you know what the site offers, you can then commence research for yourself. When you are stuck on a particular point, you can come in and ask helpers who will do their very best to assist on that point. At the present time we are all going around wondering quite what it is you wish to obtain from the members and this site.

Try it, it really is fun!! You will be rewarded I know you will.

Good luck
