Mick,

Lookups,   that's how they lure you in. 

It's a slippery slope.  :( Soon certificates aren't enough,  and before you know it,  you will be on the transcribing.  That is where it gets really heavy....... :-X

Kazza.  ;) 
started on look ups, then certificates, now transcribing. know what you mean, kazza.

You're an addict when your wife asks you the same question twice, and starts talking rubbish just to try to get your attention

I think I'm getting ATG really bad,
must go to the Doc,s,
now he really does have an unusual surname.!!!!!!!!!!!


I can't for obvious reasons, mention the names of the doc's in our local practice ... but of one of them, it is often said 'His bedside manner ?  No, its awful  ... more of a good grave-side manner ...'   

Graves ... Now I wonder .... is he into genealogy ??

Gee, Lydart, there were Pomeroys in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, Canada (place names:  Pomeroy Ridge & Pomeroy Bridge).    And since they were in Charlotte County, they were probably across the river in Calais, Maine, as well.  Maybe you could start doing worldwide one-name studies (after you've traced the last of your lines back).

Don't think I haven't thought of it ... but its been done !
