Anytime :-) although I have to admit I'm not usually here at this time lol (which is laugh out loud or lots of laughs). Generally speaking we're a friendly and helpful bunch. btw (by the way) if you put abbreviations into the box at the top of the page then press on search a thread will come up which will tell you about the different abbreviations used on the boards.

Angelica Thanks heaps, I am not usuallyon at this timeof nite during the week as I have to get up at 6:30 am but had a bit of a bad day today as I have just recently lost my father and it was he that got me started on the FH, I have found things that he did not know but I am sure he is aware of who they are now. Many thanks Helen x

Hi Helen, I know what you mean, not only is it hard to find relatives but also expensive with Scotlands people. The informatiom on births marriages and deaths don't go up far enough back or ahead enough either. As for Irish rellies well you just can't find them because the census doesn't tell you where in Ireland they came from. All in all it's just one big pain in the b- -m. Betty

I know 1881 census only costs 1 credit but if any of you have people to look for in 1881 let me know - I have the Scottish discs and there's a neighbour search as well.. I think I have most of mine placed now, and strangely I've found some names that def were NOT on the Scotland people site.. I'll get round to putting it on Tips or Records one day soon!

Hi Helen, I don't know if this will be of any help but if you are looking for rellies in Northern Ireland from around 1912 try the Ulster Covenant. It gives the townland where they came from and from there you can work out the registration districts, where they would have registered Births Marriages and Deaths or BMD's. I hope I've explained all that okay, regards Jill. oh, just type Ulster Covenant. J
