New start to my tree..

I have not posted here for a while. I have been over on my other blogg trying to get a Backgammon club up and running.  Anyway, I was looking at my family tree the other day and was thinking that I really must tidy it up and do some more research.
So with that in mind I have reactivated this Blogg in the home that someone out there may be researching the same as me.
I have already found two distant cousins via the internet so its not out of the question.

Names being researched at present are:
PRICE
WESTON
GURR
All around the Tenterden area of  Kent UK.

I am particularly interested in ANY information relating to JAMES or RICHARD WESTON  who were PRINTERS in Tenterden and Biddenden, Kent around 1800--1830.

Also ANY information related to GURR in SNARGATE, Kent.

So a short Blogg post to start. I will keep it updated as I uncover the skeletons. Please feel free to comment below on any aspect of this Blogg.   The search continues..

Free access...8th & 9th.

Just a quick post...this weekend Ancestry.co.UK and findmypast.com are offering free access... Findmypast is full worldwide access and Ancestry is military records only...
I know which one I will be using...

Good hunting......The search continues....

Gravestonephotos.com

 Gravestone Photographic Resource

Well after a short wait my Gravestone photo volunteer pack has arrived.

It consists of: 

1 x GPR Volunteer  CD

1 x GPR ID Card

1 X Laminated Poster /  mouse mat

1 x Access Details Card
2 x Return Labels
1 x Welcome Letter

The site seems to be well put together although there are some bugs. For example I have tried several times to send a message to the site owner but it just gets deleted as spam before sending...very annoying

Also after looking around the volunteer section of the website there seems to be one very important thing missing.

There is no members forum area, this would be a great benefit to new members,  as they get used to the site, uploading, photographing etc. Questions can be asked of other members this would save asking  the site owner.

I have added the name of our local church burial ground that I intend to photograph as soon as the rain stops I will spring into action.

Watch this space for a review of how easy it is to upload pictures. Although there is the option of sending the pictures direct on a CD or Flash Drive.

Other Family History research has slowed down as I am trying to index my research into a box file as well as in to a folder for storage on a Flash Drive.


The search Continues.

First blogg in my family history research.

 Family History Research.

This blogg is going to be a record of what genealogical research I am doing at present.
I will include names and dates of people and places that I am researching in the hope that someone reading this is doing the same research and may be related and will get in touch.
I have been researching my family history on and off since about 1985. with the advent of the internet it has become much faster to get results, although it is still a slow old job.
I have listed here a few of my family interests and will blogg as I research each name.
I am not a disciplined researcher, in that I get very easily side tracked into looking at a distant relatives job or address. And I tend  to jump from family to family as the wind takes me. So be prepared for some very random research..
My research interests include:

Shaw...Darfield Yorkshire
Gregory...Doncaster Yorkshire
Price...Tenterden / Biddenden Kent
Swan...Bethnal Green / Whitechapel, London
Weston....Tenterden Kent
Merrells....Tenterden  Kent
Gurr.... Kent

If you share any of my interests please get in touch..I use Ancestry.co.uk and Find my past.com for research although my tree is stored on Ancestry.
