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?

On Ancestry they have the Electoral Roles up to 1980's................in every state except Tasmania.........ours only go up to 1950..............

Lucille Ball was born in Jamestown, New York, on 6 August 1911.

At the age of fourteen, she enrolled in the John Murray Anderson School for the Dramatic Arts, where after just a few weeks, she was told she was too shy and had no future as a performer.

Ball persisted with her dream, and in 1930 she gained success as a fashion model for designer Hattie Carnegie and as the Chesterfield cigarettes girl. Three years later she moved to Hollywood, gaining many small film parts, but no real fame.

Ball's fame in 'I Love Lucy' came about as a result of her being cast in a CBS radio programme. The programme was 'My Favourite Husband', and she was cast as wacky wife Liz Cugat, later Liz Cooper.

The program's subsequent success resulted in its development as a television program, which eventually became 'I Love Lucy'.

Lucille Ball died on 26 April 1989.
