Patricia Sayers' success story

Patricia Report 15 Jun 2004 09:31

I joined GC about one year ago, with the intention of building a family tree for myself, I had great success with my mother's relations, making contact with many cousins, 1st and 2nd, and have been able to track back several generations. Unfortunately, my father's family are proving hard going, mainly because I know little of them. I knew all my father's siblings, but none of his Aunts and Uncles or cousins, and I'm sure he must have had some. I keep coming up against a brickwall. So MILLETTS come out of the woodwork, I need help. My husband, hearing of my success, ask me to trace his family, once again, the maternal side was fairly easy, I was able once again to contact many cousins, and was even sent a history that had been compiled by a cousin once or twice removed. Now I am trying to trace his father's family, so far having little success. His forefathers were 'Military men', making looking up Censuses very laborious, but, I will not give up, I will eventually get the information I need. How grateful I am to this wonderful site, without it I would be lost under reams and reams of paper work. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Regards..............Pat Sayers (nee Millett)
