This website is an online reference and research log for the family tree of my own and my husband’s families. It is a work in progress with many links, lives and questions still to be discovered and answered.
I joined Ancestry.com and got the basic starts and documents from there but soon realised it was so easy to follow false hints on there and go completely off track if you didn’t triple check the information, and I really wanted to ensure we were following the true lines (as much as anyone can ever be sure!)
I source from all the popular genealogy websites I can find but also from documents, books, records and graveyards!
