Things to be Grateful for
is for Family History
At the present time we can’t help thinking about our family,
those who live with us and those living elsewhere, but many of us are also
thinking about our family tree. More
time at home gives the opportunity for researching our genealogy but many of us
also think about the distant cousins we have already discovered many miles
away.
Since I first started to research my Family History in 1998, I
have connected with many “new” cousins, some I have met, others I correspond
with online.
Here are some of my ancestors:
My Great Gran born in Inverness-shire
My Grandma married in Canada
My Great Uncle Vernon who died in Egypt in 1916
My great Grandfather retired to Bournemouth where he married his 3rd wife
My great great grandfather was a career soldier who lived in Yorkshire, Winchester, Devonport, Gibraltar, Nova Scotia and Barbados
My Great Uncle in the Lifeguards
My Great Grandmother in Norfolk with some of her children
Researching online has never been easier and some websites or local online Libraries are making their data free. I really recommend starting this fascinating hobby.

Great to have these old family photos! Your Great Uncle in the Lifeguards looks good!

When he left the Lifeguards he became a policeman then a musician on an ocean liner then he just disappeared.
DeleteWow, that's quite a collection!
ReplyDeleteI also started looking into family history, because some Hungarian digital archives are free for the public this week, but sadly in Hungary not much is digitized yet.

What a wonderful selection of photographs. Thank you for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvellous collection of photographs & what fine looking faces your ancestors have. Researching family history is fascinating isn't it. A few years ago, we discovered by accident, that one of my husband's best friends and I share great,great grandparents - a complete coincidence and soextraordinary that we discovered it!
ReplyDeleteI have made good friends with very distant cousins I have met because of our genealogy research.
