Carol if you need any help I have a free sub to Ancestry at the moment so can have a look at census' if that helps

Rose xx

Thanks Rose,
I know nothing on my mums side, my grandad died and i dont know his first name, thats no help i know and i dont know my nans side at all, so i think i'm stumped on that side.

I have more info on my dads side, thats a lot better, they are Stone, i have been looking through the free census and have i think i have them, hopefully, not very far back though :)

i've seen lots ask if ancestry is a good buy and find my past, which is better?

Hi Carol
I just added my name to list as well. I have 5 grown children and 4 grandchildren. I also have hubby and a job. Try to keep busy otherwise I'm a space cadet.

I have a two week free trial with Ancestry , and have to say have found a huge amount already from the census there , it is expensive to join but if you get as much info as you can from the free sites first then take the 2 week free trial think you can get a lot done that way (if you can stay up very late lol) .

If you want to PM me with any details you want me to look for please do ...I am happy to have a go.

Carol welcome to the boards

it might take a bit of getting used to at times but they are harmless lol

Enjoy and good luck with your research

Hello June,

I would like to retire, i'm 60, but my husband does insist on us keep working, even though our son works with us, he owns half the company, it keeps me occupied though :)

Rose careful on the 2wk trial on ancestry cos u have to give a credit card no. and you have to give them notice to cancel. Rose have they got another freebie going?

Carol ..Ancestry I think is much better than most but there are always people who will do look ups for you on most sites

Thankyou Rose, I did see the free trial, will give it a go and join for the free period, seems a better idea :)

Hello, Mo, Winterwitch and Uzzi, thankyou for welcoming me too.
