my main names are smith, o'may laird and trail steel.
 but now i find tha we also have flett, bell and strickland all coming fom orkney then it goes on y=to moodie or mudie and rempleton& calqahoun
then if that is not enough these people start to move aroundand I am no longer looking at the yk a scotland and ireland but india, newzealand and south africa rhodesia california and so on trans vaal. so I can only assume that they left their native scotland for the hope of finding diamonds gold etc or to run tea/coffee plantations although I have found more names, and places, I have yet to find a reason ortrade to take them there.

Scotland mainly, one set of ancestors I'm trying to find out more about, the Cloudsleys I believe came from England but a bit too far back to verify.

Newbie here! It all started with a seemingly elusive painter from England who travelled to Singapore in 1923. Found it mentioned in the Singaporean news archive. So now I'm all fired up to find who he/his family were. 

Researching mainly England and Scotland but am stumped as there was one who died in the Cape Colony  ???

Found ancestors, from both my parents, were mostly from the Midlands. Did find Williams, possibly from Wales and does the Raybould surname actually come from France? Also found a Sullivan, from Ireland?

On my Mom's side, I'm researching into Hodgetts, Hill, Harris, Herrin, Beasley, Cox, Read, Sulllivan, Deavin...

On my Dad's side, I'm researching into Adams, Raybould, Taylor, Billingham, Foxall, Cox, Tibbetts...

When I was young we were told that our heritage was Heinz! ie 57 varieties.
Our research hasn't confirmed that but we have multiple nationalities joining in as we go back in time.  One curiosity is my gg grandfather Alphons Eder always put his nationality as Austrian but on one census he put his birthplace as Laibach.  That is Ljubljana and we found he was born there but his father was born in Germany and his mother in Czechoslovakia.  Not really Austrian then.
