Mine are Australian, Canadian, English, Scottish and Irish - a mixed bag.

Does anyone have births for Ireland in the County Clare and surrounding counties at all?

Mine are mainly English with some emigrating to Canada and several to South Africa.
So mostly East Anglia, West Country, Kent Sussex and the East End. Apart from a few 'strays.'
One family were French and one child of seafaring parents was born in Australia
A Roderick Fraser was born in the West Indies in about 1785 but I'm unsure how to find out more.
perhaps this should be my 2011 challenge :)

Mine are mostly England (Kent and Nottingham), Wales, Ireland and immigrants to Canada.

I just retired and hope to spend more time doing research on my family.  :)

Happy New Year to all.

Sorry, I don't know of a German website like rootschat - if you know which part of Germany your ancestors originated from then you might like to join a mailing list.  You can write in English as most Germans understand the language. Here's a link to German mailing lists some of which concentrate specifically on the old princedoms, dukedoms, etc.   The German border has changed a few times and some Dutch records are in German archives.  Also, as Britain used to rule the Kingdom of Hanover until 1901 you might find Niedersachsen mailing list is a likely district.
