Paul

We have all been there - just keep looking for one person at a time -

as has been said use - freebmd - it is excellent - and censuses

remember the 1881 is free to view - you are at 1895 - so 1881 will be the next step

masses of Parish Registers are on line now -

also familysearch.org --

And has also been said ---- Ask for help ----

The hardest thing for me was knowing where to look

Best of Luck

Or you could putting the information in the help clinic. Just look towards the top of the boards on the lefthandside

That a what they are there for and it's free

Hi Paul, you will recieve many helping hands if you put your information on the "Trying To Find" board. I suuggest you dont waste money on agency's. Be sure to enter the dates and places of birth for the people you are looking for. Good Luck....Susan.

Have you tried freebmd Paul, google it and its very helpful.
Other members on trying to find, tips and history boards can help but only post on one site with as much info as you can and stay on line because you can get an answer quickly and the researcher may need more input from you.

I can only get my family tree back as far as 1895. and i can even verify those people because the dates of birth are questionable.

I look in envy at you guys with the trees going back hundreds of years.

Is there an agency of some type i can hire to give me a helping hand?
