So far it looks as though my family roots are mostly based in Plymouth in Devon, and in Aylsham in Norfolk.

I moved stateside a couple of years ago, and now I'm really wishing I had done more research while I was living in Devon!

Ireland and the United States mostly. I've just found family members who went to England so I've started on there too.

Hi Siamese,

I don't get out much at all these days, so most of my searching is done on the net!  I went to Bristol years ago, to a Conference!  So I didn't go anywhere else!

I have been to the National Archives though, albeit some time ago, it is brilliant!

Been to Bristol record office, but a few years ago. Don't remember much about it except a long walk from Temple Meads station. No difficulties at the Archive though, found the files I wanted, but unfortunately my relative wasn't in them.
