New Girl in Town

[musicbank]

Hi there

I am new to the site and I just wanted to say hello

I have spent the last 8 years tracing my roots and it has been a long hard emotional journey, and it has turned up some skeletons some good and some surprises and some devastatingly sad.

So I am starting on a new journey on my grandmothers father who I couldn't start researching  till the 1911 census came on line.

so onward and upward

Hello Musicbank,

How exciting to have a new line to follow. Can we help in any way? As Nanny Jan said, we are all very friendly and willing to help. In fact, many of us are hooked on genealogy and will hunt for anything and everything, if asked!

In that case, Gengen, will you help me look for my "sensible" hat, can't seem to find it anywhere.................

Hi, Musicbank!

[musicbank]

Thank you for the welcome I was getting a little fed up with talking to myself and the screen so my other half said go and find somebody ėlse to annoy with your dead people!!!

I am researching my grandmothers father Frederick William Hodgson b 1876 Manchester(grandmother is lady sitting in profile photo)

When she died 1985 we came across a letter written by him saying he was leaving the country, and as he wasn“t married to my greatgrandmother off he went!! to join his cousin Harry abroad  so really I had found him and lost him again at the same time but I have managed to find his Birth cert and his parents and I know he was born in Manchester and lived in leeds and the family were around  Leeds. He came to Coventry with his parents and he left in 1924 I was hoping to see If there were any relations out there.

I can see I am going to have fun on here


thanking you
Polly

Hi, Musicbank!

Nah! Serves you right for all that partying. I think an excess of Ozzie wine played its part, don't you?

[Roger The Hat]

Wine?

Nothing but 10 year old for me.

You'll give Musicbank totally the wrong impression!

 

[genjen]

Oooh errr - very sorry. I just assumed you'd been on the YT! But we mustn't give Musicbank the impression that we are having fun here. It's all hard work and history on Rootschat. So get yer proper hat on and stop messing about.

Your the Boss!!
