I have been very busy. I decided to give in and take on the yearly Ancestry membership, as I was having to decide which relatives not to search for in the census's, now I can do them all, and also the time factors. If my pc went down and I ran out of time on a pay per view, you don't get refunded. It worked out cheaper, I reckon I have spent more than a year's membership on the pay per view.
How far have I got? Well the Jones's are nearly complete, but there are one of two names that I can't get any information on. But have had some lucky breaks.
I have decided now to do the other side of the family, my maternal great grandfather's family, I have some basic information but am now putting the pieces together.
Since I last blogged I also traced my late husband's family on his father's sides, no surprises there, all Liverpool born, 6 generations of house painters. As yet his mother's family remains a mystery. I may get round to that later.
On my maternal grandfather's side, I have pieced together quite a bit of information, even finding the one relative who I never thought I would find information for. Very strange how looking at one census can sometimes give a clue to other aspects.
So, all in all I have been a busy little genaeologist, I want to do some non internet geneaeology in our local library, looking through old newspapers to see if my family were involved in anything locally, look at obituaries and wedding notices etc., I also want to find some graves and need the information on that.
So if you don't hear from me for months, lol, I haven't disappeared I am researching. One of the graveyards is very old and knee high in grass, so I might have to borrow littlemarie19474's wellies lol.
See you soon.
