Hi there,

My research is mainly England...in what used to be Lancs, but is now Cumbria. Also London, Middlesex & West Sussex.

The other ones were from South Wales.

Btw...I was completely stuck with my research until I discovered this site!!

Best Wishes, Romilly.

P.S.

I can't seem to vote in this poll...is it closed now?

I am in Australia and have tracked all ancestors out of the country (all in the 19th cent) to Soctland and England. There is an Irish link via NZ but this has been a huge brickwall for 6 years.

I have Polish, Belarus and Romanian ancestry that I have put in the 'too hard' basket for some time and am trying to look at after 7 years (on and off) of British Isles stuff.....

I always thought I had irish blood in me, but doing this family history research has exposed that as a myth.

So I am just a little disappointed to say that I am completely english, certainly as far back as the early 1800s!  This may explain why I married a scot.

But there are family members who emigrated to Australia and Canada (and that's just the ones I know about).

I am mostly Irish and haven't made much luck beyond the ones in America. Thankfully, one branch spent a generation in England before moving on, so thanks to this site, I have been able to find loads about that generation. I also have a German chunk and some English that I don't really know about as they supposedly came to America in the 18th century and with their name being Davis, it's not easy finding them. I can't even find my great-great-grandfather's grave, but I found a plot he owns.

My husband is Jewish, with relatives from Poland, Russia, and possibly Germany. There are a lot of good Jewish genealogy sites out there that I have to get to. One branch spent some time in England, so I have found some information about their years in Whitechapel.

Happy hunting.

Well I started researching into my family as a backdrop into a story I was going to write. But then I found alot of things that my cousin had missed, and well I have been fixing it every since...lol.
Anyway it looks like my crew came from Ireland...Armagh to name the town, and get this.........we were all farmers! We moved to America in the late 1700's and finally settled in Indiana. The one thing I have found out in my research is that the women out live the men in my family...go figure.
I am still looking into it, and have decided to do my grandmothers family when I get done with mine...what have I gotten myself into...lol.

The more you research the more interesting your family seems to become. So far after thinking that only the blood of astute English and canny Scots run in my veins. I have discovered Irish, Spanish, Polish, French, Italian, Dutch, German and Russian but the connections through family marriages is Maori, Aborigine, Negro, Philippine, American Indian, and is Canadian or Americans now considered a race? As far as religion goes they all seem to be there Church of England, Catholic, Jewish, Quakers, Presbyterian, Methodists, Seven Day Adventists, Baptists and many odd ball ones I had never heard of.
My grandmother said they belonged to the Ald Kirk whatever that was. I presumed it was the church of Scotland.

But when it comes to my husbands family tree every nationality in the world seems to be on it somewhere except Eskimo but I guess I haven't tried hard enough to find one yet.

Cheers Heather

The only side of the family I cant research is my grandmothers as she is Polish. It is a shame as I see my other  lines going further and further back and all I have on her side is as far as her grandparents.

Maybe one day
