Just thought i'd add my twopennyth worth, what i find fascinating is when your reading a book about History or watching a documentary on TV, about the year 17 or 18 something or another, you suddenly think, Oh so and so lived threw that and might have even been involved in it, it just makes it more intriguing for me. The other strange thing is that in the 1850's one branch of my family and one branch of my wife's family lived two streets from each other in Manchester and could have even known each other, brings everything a little closer. Small world or what.

Hi all,

I am a novice to this sited and still finding my way around it but really enjoy it.  I feel at home here.  My partner thinks all my researching my roots is mad - so this site makes me feel good to be in the company of so many as addicted as myself.  I started searching one side of my family but it has really branched out now and have also helped others to obtain information.  I have even found a distant cousin through family research.  Even one of my boys is starting to show an interest at the age of 21!

Hi Cathy

Welcome to the world of addiction - there is no escape Grin
I've only been here for a short while but wonder how I managed before. There are a lot of very helpful people out there.

Regards
Andy

I see you are researching Bowers.  it is one of my names in Burwell, Cambridge.  Matthew Bowers Married Mary Bridgeman then Ann Barnes, and then Tabitha Larner.  My grandfather Charles Harding Barnes Married Mary Bowers - daughter of Matthew and Mary.  Charles Harding Barnes' mother was I believe the Ann Barnes Matthew married.  Do you know them.
