Yep still researching. I took my tree of Genes a while ago - I don't hold it on any public site - it is all on FTM but I still use this site with the search facility and share any info I may have with the contacts that I find through using that. Have had a few great results lately too. xx

Hello Izzy....haven't seen your name for some time....OK I hope.... Well as a matter of fact I have just come off ancestry, scots origins, etc. because I am getting tired of trolling through pages of names, trying to find marriages.....perhaps they weren't..... It really makes you tired, and with so many Williams at the moment I am getting confused with dates etc.....so I am going to give it a break for a couple of days, and go back into it with a clearer mind....

I am very serious about it, I have to say that most of my information is on my own web site,not on here. I have my moments of being lazy about it,but once I get back into it I do rather well:-))

I feel that I'm actually just tidying up loose ends, making sure sources are properly recorded on FTM, inputting the details on the website I'm designing. It feels like a long time since I've found a proper ancestor (rather than their descendants) Cannot believe I'm saying this, I miss going to the record office and searching for hours through the microfilm and microfiche searching for an ancestor's census records. lol

I am and have been since 1999 online-found so much, cousins across the Pond, and here in Canada, hoards of info, plus I am working on six Surnames-and with all this genealogy, I am totally disorganized! lol! Regards Carol
