Jayay where do you fit in the family?  I can fill in many details of the family tree for the last 200 years as there is a book which has been passed down

What a really wonderful story - and it looks like getting better!

I wish I could get something like that from someone, or even that I was as good at researching as some of the people on here - I just don't have that 'flair' or imagination that solves mysteries. That'll be my ag lab ancestry for you.  ;)

Rachel,

I am with you on that!  I cannot get into the imaginative side sometimes, but thanks to the marvelous help I have had from rootschatters, I am making progress at last.

I think that the imagination comes with experience.  Then together with the help you get on rootschat, it starts to get exciting to flesh out the bones, and everything comes together.

It's not so much about being good at researching (altho' I do a type of research for my job so that helps!) as finding something that catches your imagination and maybe coming at something from an angle that someone else hasn't thought of.

Oh Gosh, I neally missed all the excitement  ::)

Welcome to Rootschat Vickyk. If I can help in any way, please send me a PM (Personal Message) and I'll see if I still have Jayay details. Or alternatively try sending Jayay a PM.

Thanks everyone for your comments as well. Don't know how I dropped from the contact list - probably something I did (or didn't  ::) ).

I'm still out "junk" hunting - maybe one day I'll find another little treasure  ;D

Vickyk found me thanks to Roots Chat. Now perhaps I can deliver the book to the Totally Direct descendant of Charles Matthews. A lot of summer visitors have kept me away from any ancestor hunting for a while, but I am back on the case again now.

Hi Jayay,

I'm pleased to hear that you and VickyK have been in contact and it is great to know that the old book will find a new home (again!!)

All the best
