If you would like some FREE genealogy work, add to this thread (or PM me) the names of your parents on both sides, their approximate birth years, and birth locations, IF they were born prior to 1930, the latest census report; plus, any such info. on their parents, etc. I usually need at least two generations to ensure I have the right people when looking at census information. If you have your lines back a number of generations, just give me the oldest ancestor you have birth year and birth location for, as well as the names of as many of their children as you have (again, two generations to verify I have the right people.) In the U.S., we pretty much have to rely on census data. If your ancestry is Canadian, it is MUCH easier and quicker since every birth, dath and marriage (Catholic and most Protestant) were recorded in parish ledgers, and I have access to those. If you're European, there's a lot of databases I can search. Otherwise, the available information gets skimpy. Awards

I used to spend a couple of hours a day back when I was doing the ancestory.com. I kept getting dead ends but I managed about 5,000+ Grandparents of mine alone. I didn't save every aunt, uncle, cousin, etc because there would be too many. I just saved my direct lines. Most of mine are English and Scottish. I went back about 1500 years. Pretty cool stuff. My mothers great-grandpa and all of his siblings moved to Canada from England in about 1864 and then to Maine and then they all spread out. I found out that I am related to a lot of English royalty but then again who isn't. My wife's line was from France, but I couldn't find much. Girard was her grandmothers maiden name. Spelling was a dificulty also, everybody changed the way they spelled their names. Made it time consuming figuring all of that out. Have fun with your quest, it is quite fun. Awards

I followed my father's line back to the early 1800s which is when it gets very difficult over here as there was no national system of birth, marriage and death registration prior to then. However, through contact with other, previously unknown relatives, I learned a little more that pointed our family's origins to an unexpected source - the County of Norfolk in England. Just last night (and don't ask me how I stumbled across it - I don't recall how I got to the website), I learned of a very large cluster of potential ancestors in a village in that county. It is the reputed resting place of Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni, who led a revolt against the occupying Roman legions in A.D. 60, has Viking links and was the birthplace of Winston Churchill's grand-daddy. I already knew that I had some Celt in me, courtesy of a medical specialist, but there's likely to be some Anglian and Viking mixed in as well, I guess! No royal or upper-class connections yet revealed. My family moved to London during the Industrial Revolution and became hansom cab and then taxi cab operators. The most unusual fact I learned from the 1901 census was that my great-grandfather was a "cats meat vendor"! All census data is confidential for 100 years here so the latest to which we have access is 1911's. I expect I shall delve some more in the future, but, as you'd be aware, much now requires payment of subscriptions or purchase of credits to search/ get copy documents. In the case of parish records, such as they are (two civil wars and the Reformation haven't helped!), one may have to physically travel to the church involved. I was looking at the service record of a late Great Uncle who served on WW1 hospital ships only to find that the crew lists I wanted checked were in a university in Newfoundland! The better news is that the BBC is to make a documentary film about the loss of one of them - HMHS Rohilla - in the near future. Awards
