What Country is your research ?

[ankerpep_52]

Greetings Everyone

My research is in various counties of England.  We think there may be a Welsh branch of one family but have no concrete evidence of this.  Also it is thought that one branch of my family originate in Scotland.

I also have branches in America, Canada and New Zealand. One time a branch was in Kenya, Africa but returned.

A recent discovery is the possibility of relatives in Jamaica but it is not yet proven.

My interest is mainly England and Scotland as my mother's side is English and father's side Scottish, however the English side has French roots and I currently live in South Korea so it keeps expanding. Some mention a DNA test which haven't done yet that's something new to consider already.

Hi RootsChat,
I’m researching my ECCLES family in Durham and Westmorland, England in the 1700’s but have hit a brick wall.
My DNA ethnicity estimates say I’m 20% Scottish, but I haven’t been able to trace back to Scotland just yet…just to the border on the England side.

My Jewish mother's family came from Bedzin in Poland where my great grandmother was born around 1889. When Prussia invaded, the family fled to Germany.

That is where I lost tracks of them.
I also understand that Polish Jews were forced to change their names to German sounding ones.

I have approached JRI who told me they could find them but at a high cost.
I did manage to find a birth certificate for my great grandmother in the Russian language which I had translated.

So there are more stops in my path than answers. So I have given up. 😞😞

I've been lead to Wales, 1683 and past.  Struggling with surname documentation as the Welsh liked to reference name, son of father's name...    Our American surname is Ellis and I don't think we're direct descendants of Rowland Ellis

Scotland is the second location, north of Edinburgh.  Looking for McCure, apparently he didn't play well with the crown.

Hi
I'm new here. Totally confused as to where I should post a question . Im searching for any information on my Great Grandfather, Charles Arthur Black. His father was William Black and his mother was Janet Black(Maiden name Arthur.
My great grandfather was born in Kilmarnock in 1876. I have a postcard that had been passed down addressed to him informing him of the death of William Black at age 20. I presume his brother. A William Black, father of William Black, address: 62 Bonnyton Square, Kilmarnock.

Any help??

Hi Karen,

I don't know if you have made progress with your question. I hope that you have.

Since yours is the last entry on this thread I thought it might be helpful to respond. This particular topic/thread will be read by people who are interested to answer the question originally posed - What country is your research?

You might want to ask your question about your GGF, indeed you may already have asked your question somewhere that people are asking similar questions to yourself. I hope this is helpful.

FWIW My country of research is England, mainly Cornwall.
