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?

Bobthomas....I have sent you a message.
Darkie....I have one relative who went to Canada...and he has a distinctive name so wont be hard to find....but one relative doesn't justify the cost of having world wide ancestry for me.
I am free for any further searches.
Same with me Flashie, all my ancestors are from UK and Europe, no direct lines anywhere else.
I do marvel at how one line has travelled... from Persia to Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Orkneys, Scotland, Ireland, England and then her to Australia... how's that for around the world in 60 generations :^O
Flashie, how to you order BD&M certificates from the UK?
I might have to try and break the Gibson wall down with a couple of certificates if I can get them.
Fred which cliff was that? :^O
Wow! lessthan40, that is a wonderful diary to have.
Still paddling along with my other family line Flashie, but might come back to the troublesom one a little later.

I haven;t got back that many generations......I come from a long line of the youngest child of the youngest child.....so I am only back to great great grandfathers generation.
My luck lay in the fact that a number of them were Scots Royal, and the records for them are very good. Of course being royal also meant a lot of people have been researching them and uncovering more and more history, so a lot of it was pretty easy to find... mind you, a lot of it is misleading and I have spent hours researching various people in the hope that I have got it right.
I also keep it in mind that one slip in the gene pool and it all goes out the window.
I have settled with the thought that I'm learning a lot of interesting history. My word the Scots were a firey lot :^O
