I've been here about 4 months and have 350 ' found a 1st cousin and several other rellies and so many helpful people along the way, from all over the world.
Annoyingly I seem to have some of the worst mis-spellings on certs. ever , and without the spelling detectives would still be staring down the wrong hole! I'm still enjoying the chase.{One lady I contacted had grafted someone elses tree onto hers with all the dates correct but names spelt wrong, I felt so sorry for her. There are some nasty people too.}

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

started mine just over a year ago now . With a fantastic piece of luck in the last few months I have mine up to 3250.
The luck also came with copies of certs and wills along with some fantastic photos and scanned copies of an old family bible.

Researching:
Turner, Staniforth in Beighton and Ridgeway Sproat in Sheffield and Cumbria

I just looked how many I have on here as I had no idea. Only 505, but then I don't put it all on here. I've been doing my tree about seven years more seriously, started it 24 years ago when my daughter was born. Then stopped as didn't have time as baby demanded my time!

I have been doing mine for 4 years and have 555 names.
I'm not doing as well as everyone else, probably because I need to splash out on some certs. All in good time lol
