Ah, the light-bulb moment! Well done!  :D

I tend to work alot on intuition, and it's always right  ;)

Depends how many false leads you have I suppose - keep it in a file somewhere incase anyone comes on here & gets stuck?

Good luck with John Jones - I had a friend of that name in Wales if it helps...  ;D

Yes, we seem to have about a hundred Williams & Elizabeths in one branch! Luckily I think we only have one Smith so far though  ;D

I did a tree for my step-mum a while back, I couldn't believe how easy her family was to track - almost every one an immediate find.... sod's law!!  ;D
One day I might do more on it, if she wants to expand it, (and if I ever stop doing mine!!) but for now she's happy with what I've done and I'm really pleased to have helped her  :)

I hadn't used Ancestry since December, until last night. It's still giving me the new search thingy when the census page loads, which I change to the old one. It seemed no different and I had no problems - I plan to do alot more over the next couple of weeks so hopefully it'll be fine.

Oh definitely! Not just with physical health either. I am a great believer in family patterns, and also breaking them. Health very often presents as the result of the way we think, conditioning is passed on from one generation to the next whether we/they are aware of it or not.
I could probably go on for quite a while with my opinions on this subject.

I'm happy to say I am our family 'pattern breaker' - somebody has to do it!  ;D

The Common Room / Death cert help please?

Hello all!

I wonder if anyone can help with this one - we have a death certificate which states as cause of death "paralysis, mortification of the back, certified" - what would the 'certified' bit actually mean?
