It certainly does Starshine, and at least, if you want to talk about things, you can babble away to your hearts content with like minded people on this board.

 ;D.. I think i do okay on the babbling bit...  it takes me a bit longer to think of something  sensible to ask..  ( i'm still working on that one..!)

At the moment  i dont think i have actual questions.. i'm still wandering round with a shovel..   but its encouraging to  see how the rest of you go about it...

Hello Everyone,

I'm doing my research from Canada.  My mother was born in Folkstone, Kent, my maternal grandfather was born somewhere in Wales and my maternal grandmother was born in NE England.  They immigrated to Canada somewhere around 1927.  My father's family left Ireland for Canada sometime in the mid 1800's.

I have only just started and I have only a few facts, so I'm going to need lots of help :P  I'm still working full time so I'll be going slowly at first, but I hope delve deeper into it next year when I retire.

Hi Codd....  best of luck with finding your roots.. :)

I'm in Greece and have some Canadian and Irish interests too.

I'm also in the early stages of gathering my tree..

( feel like i'm sat in a pile of scribbled notes at times...    ;)  )

but everyone seems very friendly here..
