What Country is your research ?

[Codd]

Thank you for the welcome, Rabbit!  I will check out the chat room in a few days. I just need to get my ducks in a row. Is it helpful to join Ancestry.com or .ca?

I like "silver surfers" .

Everyone seems very friendly in the posts I've read.  I'm looking forward to the chat room.  I was there very briefly about a year ago and everyone was very helpful.  I didn't have the time to pursue it then and because I live in the Pacific time zone of Canada, few were on when I was.  Now that I can go on during the day it should be different.

my family is scoth irish dutch and german can anyone tell me if there is a website like this for germany  beans

Yes there are also german forums, but there is not a lot of online data for Germany so the forums aren't always as useful as RootsChat. 

See Topic: A German RootsChat? (from reply #5 on ...
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,250692.0.html

And put a query on the Euope board as well; we have several members with lots of expertise on german questions, including several members of the above named forum

Good luck,
Bob

My family at present are in England but as we go backwards they moved around to Ireland, Canada, America and the furthest guy in 1794 was Gibraltar. He is the one I am having difficulty with.

The ancestors of my husband and I came from Staffordshire, Cheshire, Cumbria, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Durham and Wales but, strangely, almost all branches appeared to have ended up in Liverpool, Lancashire.
The last generation appear to be the first to travel further afield, with many going to Australia producing many cousins I have never met. My husband and I brought our two children to Canada, starting a Canadian family, so future researchers will have a more complicated time than I am having.

Most of my research is in England tho I have had occasion to look at Italy. I will have to go there to complete my research as its quite far back pre 1750

My roots include Jewish immigrants through Liverpool from, I think, Russian-ruled Poland in about 1838.

Their transliterated surname is Stargratt, although I have seen variants, such as Staggart and Stargat. I have been unsuccessful in finding much more.

There is a ^(*)

It would be really useful if the name Stargratt could be linked to a particular town or village in Poland (or Russia). Not easy, as the alphabet is different.

I just wonder! Last year I had some German WW1 postcards translated on this site. A town involved was Stargard in Pomerania.
