Keep going, all of a sudden you will find a link or a contact and off you will go again. Sometimes it helps to stop and take a breather for a few days then go back and start on a different line to the one you were doing when you feel refreshed.

Does anyone else ever wish that they never started doing their family tree; I started mine for my nana and it was fun at first - i've taken a few wrong roots down the way and paid an absolute fortune for website fees.

I feel like I'm hitting so many brick walls during my rebuild :-(

Please give me hope!!
