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.

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.....

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.
