Hi Everyone,
         I am researching in England and Ireland (Waterford) at the moment, although I do have a relative in Perth, Australia, and quite a number of relatives in America.    The English ancestors I am researching are mainly from Buckinghamshire, Surrey, London (mainly Southwark) and Lincolnshire.   Marihelen
Grace (Buckinghamshire and Surrey), Faunge (Waterford, Ireland),  Meilleur, Weller, Smith, Perrott, Turner (Southwark, London), Pearson, Lambert (Lincolnshire)

Hi All,  ;D

I thought all my lot would be in England just north & south, how wrong can you be?

To date I have, England, Jersey, Ireland & Germany and I've only got back to 1816.  What a Heinz 57 lot we are. ???  Happy hunting.

Luv

I was brought up being told I had Scottish blood in me to a high degree.  So far I have Ireland, Canada, India and Barbados, but not a peek at anything Scottish  :o

I live in Canada, but my research is in England and Wales. 

My dad's side is nearly all English - most from Lancashire, a few from Yorkshire and Cheshire, but I recently found a Huguenot 3xg-grandmother (Mallalieu).

My mum's ancestors were mainly Welsh (Pryce, Davies and Evans), so it was a great surprise when my Italian great-great-grandfather (Benussi from Rovigno) popped up out of the blue! 

I haven't attempted my husband's family yet - he's Hungarian!

Thank you for a wonderful website.
