I know my Family Tree

OH's mother's family are the same, mostly Kent with a few from Sussex.
Since I started my FH, my geography has really improved I'm almost an expert on where to find all the towns & villages in East & SE Kent & the border with E Sussex LOL
OH's dad comes from Yorkshire, now that really will be something different when I eventually venture 'oop North'

Hi Rootschat
Part of my research is in the UK, with which I am not getting very far as both surnames on the maternal side are very common names and other than my grandparents and mother's name I have nothing to go on.
The other part is equally as frustrating as my paternal grandparents were immigrants from "Russia", "Germany" and "Poland" (I put them in inverted commas because the borders moved around a lot !). The only concrete item I have is my grandfather's naturalisation papers!
Added to that, my mother disappeared from the scene very early in my life and I believe she went to the USA, but again I've no one I can ask.
On the up side, though, I have found several cousins (from the immigrant descendant side of the family) which is so nice when you haven't had relatives for such a long time.
Keep searching!

My family just happen to end up all over the world. It is very hard to keep up to them. On this side of the water Cornwall, Ashwater, Channel Islands, Shropshire, France. Every once in a while I seem to uncover another stone. I have just had a message from another rootschater on my Gr. Gr. Gr Father so I am very pleased.
Happy Hunting

I thought I was a Lancashire lass, but when I investigated properly my mother's Clulo family originated in Staffordshire. Her grandfather married a Scottish girl whose father came from Newcastle upon Tyne. The family ended up in Manchester via Birmingham.
My father was born in Co. Wicklow. All his mother's ancestors so far are Irish. His father was born in Glasgow to two Irish parents. The Irish research in Dublin is always interesting.....
So I am a bit of a mongrel!

Have just found when my father's uncle went to Canada, thanks to great help from this site.
Also recently discovered one of my missing Clulos marrying in Boston, USA.
I have contact with the wife of the gt gr son of the brother of my gt gr father [keep up!] also in USA, and she has helped me fill a huge 'Clulo America' file.
Nothing else further afield in my tree but I have been helping my son in law's mother with his gt gr father who came to England from Prussia and changed his name just before WW1.
Kooky

Hi Everyone,
I am researching in England and Ireland (Waterford) at the moment, although I do have a relative in Perth, Australia, and quite a number of relatives in America. The English ancestors I am researching are mainly from Buckinghamshire, Surrey, London (mainly Southwark) and Lincolnshire. Marihelen
