Does anyone else get fed up with their tree ? Been at it since Christmas and now fed up with it.........Is this normal.? Found a couple of knots and can't be bothered to unravel them.......Anyone had these symptoms ??

i just go and find more knots to unravel! tina x

yes, i do, because im stuck, were do you find were gypsys lived and , did any one keep track of them.;;; could scream

PollyAnna At moment am trying to unravel my nans lot, am in contact with dads 2nd cousin and we keep coming up with different stories for what happened when and who did what is sooooooooooooo frustrating, and as for mums lot they have magically appeared in the 1850/1860 and nothing before that. Head and Wall come to mind

I haven't done any research for a year. I have an excuse, what's your's? :-)

Nice to see you , Daniel, could do with a laugh ! Just got fed up with it, being doing it for months and need a break from it...No excuse , just a brick wall, but I will go back in a couple of weeks.........still haven't read your article.......Husband gone down south on business for a few days, so will pick mag up then and I will let you know!! Be nice !

Be nice! I'm always nice! Have you tried those Nice biscuits? They're quite nice. I am here for an hour and then back on the road. Zzzzz why are driving lessons so boring?

PollyAnna I'm fed up with my lot too. Made brilliant headway just prior to Christmas and now zilch. Have been patiently waiting for 1841 but after continuously searching since last Thursday I've given up on that too. I haven't found one of my relations on there yet. Jackie I have the same problem as you with my Romani.

Good for you, you need a car...i didn't learn until I was 37 and had hundreds of lessons, wore out three instructors and took three tests and THAT was with an automatic...........First day out after passing test,dented it !! Never had a scratch since....

ClothEars One of my families on the 1841 is on the part of the page that was burnt, i can make out a few names but the rest are illegible, my lot always in the wrong place lol

I'm on instructor No. 5 I think but it's nothing to do with my ability. (I swear!) Just a rubbish school! I'm with a new place now

Dear Jackie there are some sites for gypsy ancestors dont know if you know? Remember reading the thread on tips. ................regards Barbara.........

BSM is the best !!

Claires School of Motoring isn't. BSM seems better I agree.

Hi Polly Anna I got fed up with mine - it all seemed to grind to a halt so I left it for a bit, and straight away after going back I broke two huge brick walls. I think that sometimes you get too close to see the obvious (I know I do!) and a break from it can help. Hope you don't give up! Allie x ps surely with your name you should be looking on the bright side of this? LOL

I won't give up ! Just need a break. Allie, Got so excited, I ended up with brotheres and sisters married, ! and kids,now have to entangle them all, so many with the same names ! Husband doing me a great big wall chart so I can actually see them all at once, instead of in the computer........

Dawnie Must be so frustrating knowing they're there but not being able to see them, but at least you've found some you lucky girl. :-)))

Cloth Ears, haven't you found any ? mine were fairly easy, norwich for generations....More difficult when they moved........have you asked the nice people on the tips board ?..they have a lot of ways of finding out...

PollyAnna Nope, haven't found a sausage. Tell a lie I've found my Dad's line but didn't need them as already had them back to 1841 and beyond. The problem with my Mum's line is that both paternal and maternal line were Romani so their birth age and place chop and change like the wind. I've managed to track a lot of them through to 1851 census so haven't done too badly. Never mind I'm sure something will turn up eventually.

Good luck, cloth Ears. Rel challenge there. we have some welsh circus people in the family and they moved around...
