Anyone else into seeking their ancestors?

I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.

The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.

How is everyone else going?

And this is some of the headstones.

I hope it is big enough to see.

This is it a bit bigger.

 St Arnaud

We might be related 😮

:^O

It is still an active cemetery................I have three generations buried there............and their various families that they married into.

I don;t have to go far to visit them all.

We usually go once a year and tidy them up and make sure they have not been damaged.

I think a huge part of the population of Victoria lived around there at some point in the mid 1800's.....but, you never know.....

That is amazing flashie.

Nah punch for me not really St Arnaud but two towns around there

Since I started reasearching, I have managed to convince several friends and neighbours to let me research their tress for them. I have 7 trees on Ancestry.....yes, I'm hooked :8}

I keep looking for links between them, but so far havent found any. I am pretty sure my FIL is very distantly related, by marriage, to one of my friends. And I have found a marriage 150 years ago between the same 2 surnames and my SIL & BIL, cant link the families though.

Another weird thing I've found, is most of the trees have an Eliza or Elizabeth Taylor. None of them are linked, it must just be a really common name.

I cannot believe it, I looked up that cemetery site punch just posted, went to the cemetery and immediately found some names of my ancestors
