Member Since: May 2003 Posts: 20 Send Message	Yes its me again!!! I am totally new to all of this, my mum is useless as far as remembering anything is concerned!! Bless her but I really want to at least make a start on my ancestors. I havent a clue where to start I only have half names and dates, I have tried looking on the census but you have to pay for them all, or is there any that are free to search. My family is really small and not really interested where they come from, but for my children i would like to know. I have hit a brick wall before i have even started!! Is there any hop for me!!!! Any help out there for this lost sheep. Joanna
