New member but experienced genealogist.

Hi

I have just joined this forum. My name is Ben and I have been a keen genealogist for 5 years now. Many, many times have I been to record offices, have stacks of certs, gone back to the 1500s on some lines, and am even thinking about writing up my success stories. I have ancestors from London, Sussex, Suffolk, Durham, Oxon, Kent, Essex, Norfolk, Scotland, France, Yorkshire, Berkshire and Devon/Dorset.

Genealogy is a hobby of mine and I am always doing family history research in my spare time.

Ben

1500's! Thats brill mate. Its really tough getting through to the 1800's let alone 1500's!

, and am even thinking about writing up my success stories.

Well, if you have got some good stories which will help other members, then please contact me. We can either put them on the forum or even publish them on the main site.

Hi Thanks for your messages.

Admin, if you read my post of the FHUK General Chat Room entitled "Thomas Roberts & Mary Ann Walder" I would be happy for that to be published to the main site. I would like that story published.
