Never give up!!
« on: Friday 01 July 11 23:30 BST (UK) »
I posted a message on here a couple of weeks ago regarding a member of my grandfather's family......I had reached a blank wall trying to find her descendants.  Well I still haven't found these descendants BUT I have now found a family member on my grandmother's side who has loads of info on her family.  How fantastic is that?

I'm floating on a cloud at this discovery.  Don't ya just love the internet?

Congratulations NIFTFIFTY47!!! How exciting.

Don't forget to confirm what's in the the FH before uploading it. Speaking form experience, I did that and then had to spend hours & hours going back and removing & correcting. It would have been so much easier if I'd just verified as I went.

I'm really happy for you - just cautious.

I've been researching family history for about 30 years now so I realise the pitfalls!!!  I have "done" my maternal Grandmother's FH back to 1547.  I have my paternal Grandfather back to 1805 and now this is my paternal grandmother's FH.

Thanks for the warning though. :-)

That's great NiftyFifty :) I have hit a couple blank walls and ask myself at times, perhaps I should let it all go. But hey ho, onwards we go  :)
