What Country is your research ?

[Yellabelly]

My research is Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Cumbria, America  and County Mayo Ireland.

I was always told my grandmothers family were all from Lincolnshire within a few miles of where I live and it has been amazing to find that as far back as 1730's to date they ARE all Lincolnshire mostly within about 10 miles of where I live. If the rest of the family were so easy to find live would be a lot easier.

I've got 8500+ people in my tree and as far as I can tell my dad is 100% Scottish and my mum is 100% English, so I'm exactly half-and-half.

Of course I was born and raised in Scotland so I think myself as Scottish.

Coincidentally, I've lived in the same house all my days, in the same house as my dad. His father was born in this street and he lived here for a while. My grandfather's father lived in this street as well as having a shop he inherited from his father. So my family have coincidentally been on the same street for five generations - and my dad is perplexed as to why I don't want to move out!

I've spent most of my time researching so far in Canada. I am 3rd generation Canadian on Dad's father's side, 4th on his mom's side, 3rd on my Mom's father's side and 2nd on her mom's side.

Most of the ones we know in Dad's tree are from Scotland, a couple on his mother's line from Ireland.
My mother's family came from Slovakia.

My husband's mother's side is from the Ukraine and his father's side were UEL from New England states who moved to the Maritimes in Eastern Canada. Haven't located where they came from in the British Isles before they settled in Pennsylvania around 1750. The one who came to Canada was in the British Legion Army and escaped from jail where he was to be tried for treason 1789.

Hi Patti,

I would like to echo what PaulaToo had just said, welcome to all the newbies. What an interesting family you have.

Rootschat is a brilliant site and everyone is willing to help. 

My Dad spent a lot of time in Canada in the last war, he was with the RAF.

Its easy for me, England and Wales for everybody. Wifes tree is more complex, England, Wales, Poland, Netherlands and Greece.

I'd really like to trace our Dutch and Polish lines back further than grandparents, but I don't have enough information to even start, so it looks like a vote for England, then!

[PaulaToo]

Welcome Roger and Vasquez, don't give up hope, some pretty amazing things can happen on this board.

I am researching, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the U.S.A, The Netherlands and South Africa and the West Indies.
I am Dutch and my roots are in the Netherlands, South Africa and even The Indonesian Islands and the US.
And for my inlaws I am researching Ireland , the UK and also the United States.
Maybe an idea to have country sub-forums for all countries and go international all together 

I did not realise this site is that new , I find this the  best invention since the sliced pan, keep up the good work. Well done !!!!
