I've just realised as I was filling in the search form on Ancestry that I was searching for a newly-born boy in a census whose parents were Joseph and Mary! ;D

Hi andrewalston
I didnt know ancestry went that far back ;) ;) ;) ;)
-
Was that the Bethleham census? :)- after all, that is why M & J went there from Nazareth!.
Come to think of it, the Christmas story has lots of Family Historian connections -
A census
A birth
Illegitimacy (apparently)
Emigration (they fled to Egypt soon after the birth to get away from Herod)
Infant mortality (Herod killing all baby boys)
etc etc

... but unlike the majority of us, a fully recorded genealogy and royal connections !
