Welcome to Rootschat Stuart.
Great fun to do as much as you can but I think most of us end up with brick walls at some time or another, and there is always advice on where to look or actual look ups .
Good luck and enjoy

Welcome to Roots Chat, Stuart :)
My best advice is not to rush things. I started out my research in far too much haste, and made a lot of mistakes because of that.
There's lots of people here eager to help, if you need it.

hi all well a friend told me about this site started my family tree

Your site is amazing! As I begin to learn more about the history of my family, I've been listening to stories and I have a tip: Listen to everything and WRITE quotes and particular turns of phrase down or they will be gone. The stories are especially important because they encapsulate exactly who the person is, indelibly.
Write everydown word for word and be sure of the spelling!

And oh--the spelling is not important just to be correct, as you all know, I'm sure. One letter in someone's thinking can change everything.
My last post was in earnest--just as it is necessary to document and to feret out the exact particulars, probably no "detail" needs to remain a 'detail," but may be primarily significant.
Humanise everyone.
