Anyone else into seeking their ancestors?

[darksideofthemoon]

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?

I'm emailing in for a photo, but I will definitely be visiting

Punch...............I have about 7 trees on Ancestry too.

One is hubbys.

Three are mine..........one is 100% accurate...........and one is where I traced the wrong famiy for 12 months..............and although they are not mine what is in it is 100% accurate.

And my third tree is where I have gone further back with one of the three options as to which "Mark" is my right gret x4 grandfather.

I have found a few connections between my husbands tree and mine...............way way way back we have distant cousins who married each other.

Oh, that just reminded me flashie, we did find a link between your hubby and my hubbies family. Do you remember that?

[flashie*]

Did we? :O..............Punch I look for so many people I try not to let them in my head............or they wont get out.

When I first started doign family history I used to have this reoccurring dream...............where all the headstones in the world were kept behind my shed..............and I would go out the back and get them out one by one....(they were in a huge never ending line).......and look at them.............and if they were wrong I would put them at the back of the line and get the next one.

[punch*drunk]

lol, yes, we did.

I recognised your surname the first time we emailed each other. Someone in your hubbies family was married to my MIL's aunty.

[punch*drunk]

I'm gonna send you the marriage notice, it might jog your memory

I remember now Punch....................his grandfather was hubby's great grandfather.............making them some sort of cousins.

[punch*drunk]

He would be a cousin to your hubbies dad then? Does that sound right?

The matron of honour mentioned in that article is my husbands grandmother.

Something like that Punch............I get confused with figuring out distant cousins.

I jsut checked on the thingie that Ancestry has that says what the relationship is to you.

They are first cousins once removed.:^O
