Well we agree at last. Yes it is 'a matter of taste.' Good luck with your researches, I'm sure your lovely child (your Avatar) will be well pleased when he/she? is old enough to appreciate your efforts.

Hello Rabbit B
OK about your work being for family members only. I suppose mine is likewise. Just had ten copies printed, three of which will go to researchers in Australia and one to USA, all descendants of early generations. Good luck with your new line of research, hope you are lucky, LOL.
Regards....................... Peter
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your reply, I sent all the info I had one the one line via e-mail lazy, I know but easier, and much cheaper! They went to the USA and Oz as well as up north in the UK.
I wrote a potted biography of what I had found out and included the pictures I had collected.
Now I am stuck on that line, so I am busy doing another to pass the time!
Hey ho! Nice way to spend a wet day, good luck with your history too
Rabbit B

Hello Kerry
After reading your comments, which incidentally I completely agree with. I visited your interesting and well presented website. And found that I was even more sympathetic with your approach to family history. Your introduction is a good benchmark for any new budding family history researcher.
It's the people, our ancestors themselves, that we are trying to gain information about....not just a name and date! It really doesn't matter where they are from....The challenge is finding out about them. Well it was for me and I suspect for you also.
Best wishes, kind regards............................ Peter
Thank you Peter for your kind comments. My website is becoming a labour of love, and I look forward to winter when I have more time to add more to it.
It is challenging finding out as much as you can about one particular ancestor in order to write almost their story but a great deal of satisfying fun and some of the characters have become very real to me.
Kerry

My research is Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Cumbria, America and County Mayo Ireland.
I was always told my grandmothers family were all from Lincolnshire within a few miles of where I live and it has been amazing to find that as far back as 1730's to date they ARE all Lincolnshire mostly within about 10 miles of where I live. If the rest of the family were so easy to find live would be a lot easier.

Great Granddad John Angus Sutherland (1875-1963)

I've got 8500+ people in my tree and as far as I can tell my dad is 100% Scottish and my mum is 100% English, so I'm exactly half-and-half. 
Of course I was born and raised in Scotland so I think myself as Scottish.
Coincidentally, I've lived in the same house all my days, in the same house as my dad. His father was born in this street and he lived here for a while. My grandfather's father lived in this street as well as having a shop he inherited from his father. So my family have coincidentally been on the same street for five generations - and my dad is perplexed as to why I don't want to move out!

I'd really like to trace our Dutch and Polish lines back further than grandparents, but I don't have enough information to even start, so it looks like a vote for England, then!

I am researching, Ireland, the United Kingdom, the U.S.A, The Netherlands and South Africa and the West Indies.
I am Dutch and my roots are in the Netherlands, South Africa and even The Indonesian Islands and the US.
And for my inlaws I am researching Ireland , the UK and also the United States.
Maybe an idea to have country sub-forums for all countries and go international all together
I did not realise this site is that new , I find this the best invention since the sliced pan, keep up the good work. Well done !!!!
