aahhh Julie, it's lovely that you found some good friends here :-) However, did you never track down those ancestors?

I have enjoyed building my family tree, and have found many surprises in doing so, it would be nicer if you could find BMD's easier and not have to trawl threw the records,
And Keith did you chop your tree down then

I'd been doing my tree for years before I joined but of course a lot more sources became available online and there were so many kind people on here in the early days who helped with look ups. I've also made a lot of brilliant contacts in my six years on here so yep, it's helped loads.

I am sure I just posted on here....Oh well....what I said was...

Gr hasn't helped with my tree one iota I am afraid :-(

Jane Report 22 Jul 2009 21:25

Sadly I can't do a tree,as I don't know who my father was ,don't know who my B Mothers father was and so it goes on lol.It's a shame as I would have loved to have got my teeth into something like that.But I am glad others are able to trace back their families.

Helen have you not been able to get your Mother's birth certificate?

Susan10146857

Susan10146857 Report 22 Jul 2009 21:55

Yes but do you know who your Mother's Mother's parents were?. Perhaps you can go down that line Helen.
