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.
