I always believed all sides of my family came from the london area but have since found out that they originated from sulgrave (northants) vickers family , cattell family from alcester (warwickshire) manley family ( a mystery) hewish family (possibly west country area) the reason i am writing this is that it is mainly through rootschat that i now know all this. I take my hat off to all the people who belong to this site you are brill.
cattell,alcester
vickers,sulgrave

My family just happen to end up all over the world.  It is very hard to keep up to them.  On this side of the water Cornwall, Ashwater, Channel Islands, Shropshire, France.  Every once in a while  I seem to uncover another stone.  I have just had a message from another rootschater on my Gr. Gr. Gr Father so I am very pleased. 
Happy Hunting

I thought I was a Lancashire lass, but when I investigated properly my mother's Clulo family originated in Staffordshire. Her grandfather married a Scottish girl whose father came from Newcastle upon Tyne. The family ended up in Manchester via Birmingham.
My father was born in Co. Wicklow. All his mother's ancestors so far are Irish. His father was born in Glasgow to two Irish parents. The Irish research in Dublin is always interesting.....
So I am a bit of a mongrel!

Have just found when my father's uncle went to Canada, thanks to great help from this site.
Also recently discovered one of my missing Clulos marrying in Boston, USA.
I have contact with the wife of the gt gr son of the brother of my gt gr father [keep up!] also in USA, and she has helped me fill a huge 'Clulo America' file.
Nothing else further afield in my tree but I have been helping my son in law's mother with his gt gr father who came to England from Prussia and changed his name just before WW1.

My lot, both on Mum and Dads side, seem to be arounf south northants and north bedfordshire. There are connections with Australia and America.
Hubby's family were Scottish and I've been looking into his family tree as well. They were mostly Aberdeen but he too has rellies in America.
