Hi sretaw First apologies for delay in replying to your posting,pressure of work! :( I am researching a branch of the Waters in Kent.Mine (or at least my wifes) are mainly based around the Canterbury area (Selling,Waltham and Petham). Does this fit in with your searches? Regards prefabkid

That is easy,if I could go back in time I would love to meet my paternal grandmother. I have researched many branches of my family,with one branch back to the 10th century.Unfortunately my grandmother died 10 years before I was born and both my father and grandfather died before I became...

Hi pejay I have found an ancestor born Ireland in census returns for England having married an Englishman. I was interested at looking at possible sites to try and find details of her Irish roots,these links you have listed for Keith may help.Many thanks prefabkid :)

Hi Tazettemb Many thanks for the information on Mark and William,any information is welcome especially on rellies from distant parts. These two brothers of my paternal grandfather were just names when I started my research but have found out much about them,would love to know if they have any...

Hi rustynath I have also found cases of child being named after a dead sibling in my trees. It can be especially confusing if a child appears in one census then apparently appears in the next with a totally different birth year. You then have to resort to checing the death registers between...

Hi Lynne Duckweed was right in suggesting Genes Reunited if you haven't already subscribed it's not expensive.I have been a member for a couple of years and the number of contacts I have made is amazing.You may be surprised how many people may be researching branches of your tree :rolleyes...

Hi Shaun welcome I'm sure someone on the site will be able to help you. Have you any other details on Emily and George,such as where they were living or originated from,it may help narrow down the field since Watkins is a common name.Any idea of birth dates etc,. prefabkid

Welcome to the site. If we put all our 'brickwalls' together we could probably encircle the British Isles,unfortunately we all hit them.This is all part of the fun,or so we are told. Back to 125AD - wow! that must have taken some researching (where did that branch of the family originate?)...

Yes,Welcome to the site,we all have a common aim - to trace our roots.Members will help you where they can and we were all novices and still learning. I see you have an inexplicable affinity with Elizabethan/Tudor times and one of the names you are researching is BYRD.Of course William Byrd...

pee wee Many thanks for the link,a useful site to add to my favourites! prefabkid

I have found Genes Reunited very useful in my searches and at reasonable cost. It has connected me with numerous,hitherto unknown,members of my family and often researching other parts of my tree. I have found the 'Hot Matches' facility particularly useful and of couse access to your tree is...
