Hi all at RootsChat,

There are a lot of lookup offers for England but I have not seen any for the Waterford area.  Jan 

Hi, I'm new to the site, and found it by accident whilst 'googling' a name I'm researching. I understand your frustration. Seems to be a lot of very friendly helpful peeps here, not to mention a ton of info!

You'll be glad to know that there IS now a searchable database for Ireland on Ancestry.

Like so many other rootschatters, my research is mainly in England, but one day I may get around to chasing up a few Welsh, Scottish and Irish branches! For now,
I just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou, to all those who have made Rootschat the best resource for family historians anywhere on the net. I am going to put aside a little bit of money every time I have a query answered, hoping that I will eventually  be able to purchase a bit of software that will allow me to help other's, the way I have been helped. A big Hoorahh!!!! for Rootschat!!!!!
A devoted fan,

I'm just back from holiday. I've been chasing up references to my relatives in Nova Scotia.

A really nice place to be, though job opportunities are thin on the ground once you leave the cities. Maybe that's why my relatives moved to Liverpool in 1851! Mind you he had a decent job with the shipping company which went on to become Cunard.

The people at the Nova Scotia archives were great - just as helpful as our own county archives, and I came away with much info, including a copy of a map from 1784 showing the parcel of land that Sgt. Jacob Fenton was granted at the end of the American War of Independence. The land was tough then, though unlike most, he stuck it out and made a success of it.

I visited the cemeteries, which all seemed to be in idyllic spots and wonderfully maintained, but didn't meet any living Fentons. However, the ex-nurse running one of the B&Bs I stayed at said she used to work with a couple of women named Fenton who came from the right area, though they had now retired to Ontario.

I have now had to add a new record type to my genealogy software - "1911 Census" ! The images for the Canadian 1911 census (& the 1901) are now online & mostly indexed by volunteers - and I've got loads of relatives over there!
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.
