What Country is your research ?

[pinefamily]

And a warm welcome from me, Bearsome.
It doesn't matter how "common" your ancestors' names were, with careful checking of records each step of the way you should be ok. The old mantra rings true: always start with what you know, and work back.
And there are loads of helpful people on here to give you a hand, as Celticcrafter has said.

Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I know about the checking - I've done a fair amount of research, and discovered a lot over the last two years. It becomes a bit obsessive, this genealogy lark, doesn't it? It would be so much easier if census records (for everone) had started much earlier in UK history!

Obsessive? You have no idea, lol! There is a thread on here somewhere, "You know you're obsessed when...".

I was in Dublin recently and my mam came up with a standard reply when anyone asked where I was "Sure where did you think, researching somewhere" she'll be back when it's dark. lol.  My mam's a hoot, she's a Liberty Lass, love her to bits.

My countries of interest are;
England (Gloucestershire and Lancashire)
Scotland (Kingdom of Fife and Perthshire)
Czechoslovakia  (Prague - Austria as it was then).

And migration (confused.  Is it emigrating from and immigrating to, or vice versa)
Enjoy rootschat forum -- there are many helpful people on this site.

You emigrate from your own land and are an immigrant in the country you go to.

My first post here. I'm in the US trying to find my way back to UK by my relatives. My dad did a DNA test on another well known site and we linked with a person almost perfectly that came to the US from England on the ship Swan in 1609. From there it has been more or less a dead end. Hoping I can find some clues here as this site seems to be in line with some excellent techniques. The line I am seeking is the Bouldin, Boulding line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And last, my compliments to a super site. And I am also researching my Bradford links to Britian, mainly a Richard Bradford that seems to have immigrated around 1656.

Hi from Hull.I thought my research would mainly be Scotland or at least UK,strange how wrong you can be,it is now also Canada and USA.It does answer some of the family stories handed down or half remembered.

I have English, Irish and Scottish in my family tree.
I also have distant relatives in Canada. My Great-Great Grandfather moved out there with his 2nd wife and family in the early 1900s.
