What Country is your research ?

[deeiluka]

As a fifth generation Aussie, a lot of my research has been with Australian records. But I also have lots of English and German research to do,  a little in the USA, and have just found I'll need to find out about Danish records.

And of course there are all those ancestors who like to hide away who knows where! .....dee

hi...it appears i may have been a bit hasty regarding my previous posting on this subject....i`m open to advice off any experts.......i was led to believe my g.g.grandfather karl freidrich schacht was born in heligoland.....according to a posting i`ve received,karl and his father johann karl daniel schacht were born in wismar ny.......after doing some research...it appears wismar was swedish owned from 1648 to 1903...then it became german....so apologies to anyone helping with heligoland.....my elder ancestors(now all deceased)put me on the wrong path...so it appears as johann b 1818 and karl b 1848 were swedish,i now have sweden as part of my research......also my wifes father Ostap Kabluckyj was from the Ukraine....all the rest (450)of my (to date) relations from england except about a dozen from welshpool.....i`ve been doing the tree for 3 years,and i find it very very taxing on the brain....it amazes me how 3 minutes after putting a posting up on rootschat..someone will post important info of my family on my posting....i`d be lost without these people...thanks to all concerned...allan :)and merry xmas and a happy new year to everyone ;Dgood luck for 2007

My research tends to be based in Lancashire (wifes side) and all over the place (my side). I have suspicions that my paternal grandfather was born in the "Empire" in the late 1870s but where is another matter (My father was born in Singapore) and grandfather married in Singapore in 1906, unfortunately the records are held in Singapore and not in the UK .
However I'll find him oneday.

Everyone on my Dads side was born and bred in Suffolk, I have not as yet found anyone who was born outside of the county. Meanwhile on my mums side everyone (my mum included) was born outside of Suffolk so it makes researching parts on this side of things a little harder.

Most of my Dad's family were born & bred in Kent. I got quite excited when I found a few of them were from over the border in Sussex
Mum's family are a different story, from Nottingham, Birmingham, Poland & Germany.

OH's mother's family are the same, mostly Kent with a few from Sussex.
Since I started my FH, my geography has really improved I'm almost an expert on where to find all the towns & villages in East & SE Kent & the border with E Sussex LOL
OH's dad comes from Yorkshire, now that really will be something different when I eventually venture 'oop North'

Hi Rootschat

Part of my research is in the UK, with which I am not getting very far as both surnames on the maternal side are very common names and other than my grandparents and mother's name I have nothing to go on. 

The other part is equally as frustrating as my paternal grandparents were immigrants from "Russia", "Germany" and "Poland" (I put them in inverted commas because the borders moved  around a lot !).  The only concrete item I have is my grandfather's naturalisation papers!

Added to that, my mother disappeared from the scene very early in my life and I believe she went to the USA, but again I've no one I can ask.

On the up side, though, I have found several cousins (from the immigrant descendant side of the family) which is so nice when you haven't had relatives for such a long time.

Keep searching!
