ah, okay...I have done that in Google alright...found a few bits on Canadian relatives.  Thanks Alpine, had forgotten all about that...good reminder :)

Gj...although I live in Ireland, all my ancestors are from the Uk...
At this point in my research (a relative beginnerr!) I don't have anything specific to look up...but I am lucky in a sense, as 2 of my family names are fairly uncommon...HILSDEN or HILLSDON, from Buckinghamshire (High Wycombe area's or Waddesdon) and/or PINNIGER or PINNEGAR from Wiltshire (Newbury, Woolhampton, Thatcham)

I am coming to the UK in the summer for six weeks, so man am I planning on some serious internet access :)

Thanks for the tips :)

Hi Hodgkiss

I'd be really really grateful if you could do a search for me?

His name is Constantine Gogas, and he appears in the Western Mail (Wales) at some point in the 1880s - I did find him during the free search period, but didn't save the date! D'oh!

Thankyou so so much!
