Well it's been nearly a year since I have written here. Just goes to show how much family history I have been able to do lately.
So here I am again all fired up on the ancestral trail.
I have reinstated my
Ancestry subscription and booked a small holiday to Kent to track down a few monuments etc.
I have also booked tickets to this years
WDYTYA show at the NEC in Birmingham in April.
What got me back up and running I hear you cry.....
Well my wife has always wanted to get to know her family tree so we thought that we would have a go.
Now, the main branches of her family have been done before, and although it would be nice to explore those I thought it would be nice to go down an unknown route.
So we are exploring her grans mothers side (Nicholas) They are all from Sennen, Cornwall so a bonus there as we are only about 70 miles from there.
We have already come across a lighthouse keeper and an engraver, so things are looking up.
I have also got back into using my
Heredis software as I don't like to store everything on Ancestry for fear of a major breakdown on their part.
I also notice that there is now a 2017 update for this software, so that might be my next purchase.
Anyway, happy hunting. I will try to keep this Blogg up to date with what I am doing just in case a distant cousin comes past.. See my research page for family names..
