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?

Hi ya flashie ๐
2chappies, that magazine could prove to be a gem. What a lovely time you will have fixing photos.
:^O :^O :^O YOU never know gcmc, the past rellies might be far more like you... it's a thought! ๐
Never waste guilt on passions matega, they are what keeps us going long after the kids leave home and we have retired from work ๐
Here's a new Genes Reunited site for you. I got it in an email this morning... I don't know how much use it will be as it couldn't find my great grandfather, despite having all his information. I tried it as a test run but you will probably have more luck than me.

:_| I'm a Smith!!
Its taken me ages to figure out that my grandfather had different names when he was born, when he married and when he died.
On the plus side, I have found family trees for the rest of my family already done.

Oh nooooooooo, not a 'Smith'... that's as bad or worse than 'Harris' :^O
Clever you discovering your grandfather had different names over his lifetime... do you know why?
Hope everyone is happy hunting ๐

Its not so much that his name was completely different, just used in different combinations.
What we always thought was his Christian name, was actually one of his middle names according to his birth certificate.
When I searched for his birth certificate, the records showed one of his middle names with an incorrect spelling, so I ordered a copy of the page and it is clear that BDM have got it wrong.
And despite the fact that his birth certificate says his name was Harold, he is listed in the census, marriage and death certificates with his middle name first. I know that people are often known by their middle names, but I just kinda thought the legal records would be more consistent.
I also discovered my husbands grandfather has a different name to what they always thought it was. Spent hours searching for him thinking it would be easy because neither the surname nor the Christian name he used were terribly common, only to find his divorce notice on Trove and his real name was Edward.
