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?

It's always what we have to remember. We are not answerable for our rellies, they exist and we are a part of them...

This isn't a journey into Pride and Prejudice :^O


Its the people who wear rose coloured glasses that cause problems. Some people forget that if our ancestors didn't do some of these things we would hardly know a thing about them!

That is so right happyroo... thank goodness they were outlandish and courageous or villainous and wicket :^O

It has to add to our own natures so we are not cabbages.

Yes the trouble is the living rellies who can't face the truth of things... funny isn't it. We are all descended from thousands upon thousands of people who have lived over thousands of years. That we are here is still amazing and who cares what they did - it isn't as if we can change them.

Well all I can say is don't tell anyone who would be upset, let them live in their fantasy and leave it at that ๐Ÿ™‚

Onward and upward we go ... see ya all later

Darkie....I was doing some research the other day on my tree and found another tree who had the same person in it.

I thought I might contact them as I was a bit stuck........they had 173 000 people in their tree. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Yes Flashie is right purple haze.. she didn't know. They lived there before she was born ๐Ÿ˜ž

Izzy if you email kengillard (Gil) on her member to member contact you might find you and she have some rellies in common. I know she has some Lyons, so it might be worth a line or two to her ๐Ÿ™‚

Oh my giddy god father flashie... 173,000... I wonder if she was keeping all the aunts and uncles, cousins and all their offspring and spice...

I try to keep mine to just the child that I have descended from, I find the rest just confuse me.

I am trying to catch up with green leaves but they keep multiplying... I shouldn't complain should I, still they are very demanding.

I sort of do the same. I will have their siblings and possibly spouses listed though. Helps me if I find more info to have the entire family recorded, and listing spouses means a greater chance of other people finding my tree that may be able to help.

I had someone contact me a few days ago re a part of the family I was a bit stuck on. She found me because I had the brother (and wife) of my g.g.g. grandmother recorded. Unfortunately she wasn't much help to me, but I was able to give her some info. We will now share anything else we can find out.

I find it best to include all the brothers and sisters....because that is usually where the parents eventually end up.....living with one of their children.

Kengillard....I sent you an email last night....did you get it?
