I do hope that you double and triple check all information given to you on all these threads you have started.



I used to tell everyone I helped that I could not be trusted to get everything correct, and they should use what I posted as information only ........ and double check it all.


You really are missing such a lot by having the helpers doing all your work for you!

It's much more fun to do it yourself!

Hi Peter,

If you need help with the surname Swales there is a gentleman by the name of Steve Swales who has traced many with the surname. Steve has completed 30 odd family trees containing the name.

If you have Facebook the group is called The Swales or there is a yahoo group for swalesgenealogy which you can join. You will need a yahoo account to join the group.


Regards
Gai Swales

Hi Sylvia,

Yes I do try too. Or I make a note of it specifically in my tree. And yes, I really need to get an ancestry sub, but it will have to wait to Christmas. Then I can double check everything then, and I will do so.

Along with this, I usually ask for more information about the Swales/Stephensons and Pattisons as they are such a large family (often marrying into one another), and born in similar towns (which seems to change in later sources) and ages can change. There are many case of daughters marrying husbands with the their father's name, and sometimes with their father-in-laws name. The fact that a lot of the quiries are not always resolved on here makes me feel ok about asking for help as it can be difficult. But no, my tree is huge and the vast majority of that work has been carried out myself by visiting various archives and such over a period of 10 years this gone July.

And Gai - thank you - yes I would love to be inclided in Steve's work. Is there specifically an email address I can find him at?

Thank you!

Peter

Hi Peter,

Steve has the Swales group at Yahoo which you can join or you can send me a pm with your email address and I'll pass it on to him.
