I am researching within England for the Bradshaw family with some work in Australia.  I am particularly hoping to find someone who lives near the Field of Mars Cemetery in Ryde, Sydney, so they might be able to take a picture of my Great Grandfather's grave.

Note: this thread is a POLL and not for queries. If anyone can help please see topic on Australia board:

Hi so far the research has taken me from England to Ireland to Scotland to India to New Zealand and finally to Australia. My geography knowledge has exponentially increased and I have enjoyed reading about all these people and places. I have even managed to find the elusive branch of the family thanks to Rootschatters. It is time consuming but oh so rewarding when you vault that brick wall!  :) :)

I've found lots of people in all four home countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland; then I've found BMDs or substantial involvement in the following, using their names at the time: Antigua, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bermuda, Borneo, Brazil, Burma, Canada, Ceylon, Chile, China, Colombia, Corfu, Cuba, Denmark, Dominica, Estonia, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guernsey, Guyana, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jersey, Kenya, Korea, Latvia, Liberia, Malta, Mexico, Norway, Nyasaland, Persia, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Somaliland, South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, Spain, St Helena, St Kitts, St Vincent, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Texas (while it had its brief independence), Thailand, the Canaries, Turkey, United States and Zanzibar. It's been an amazing introduction to history and geography.

Just come across this.  I, like everyone else, seem to have relatives scattered to the 4 corners of the earth (strange, that, since the earth is round...).  However, the biggest mystery is in Hungary (although nowadays it would be the Czech Republic) which ended in murder in Clinton, New Jersey, USA.  Makes my peripatetic lifestyle seem quite tame by comparison!
