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?

Oh, and I meant to tell you all, I got on to the Durham Historical Society and asked if they knew anyone among their members who would be able to help me with Henry Gibson.
I have received an email from someone who has just retired and, because he has always been very involved with the Durham history and is setting up a business for himself seeking lost ancestors, is more than happy to help me.
He has said that, of course, there would be a fee, but then, I wouldn't have expected there not to be.
If he finds my 'enery, so IF any of you need help in the Durham district I can always let you know his name and email address 🙂
That looks interesting chappies, sadly my family history is mostly over in Europe. My father was first generation Australian on his side and I am first generation Australian on my mother's side, so no interesting stuff there for me 😞
I have found a wonderful author who writes historical novels with a huge amount of research to make sure her history is accurate and I have found that a lot of the people she writes about are ancestors of mine.
I have found it so great getting some idea of what they were really like and the world they lived in.
Her name is Elizabeth Chadwick if anyone is interested.
