What Country is your research ?

[petrochemist]

My father was Dutch, a grandmother Belgian & a great grand mother German. So mainland Europe features quite heavily!
Things get even more complicated however, my Father in law was born in India, and several of his relatives were/are resident in New Zealand.
Of course there are also branches of my tree that have emigrated to America, South Africa, Australia...
The only continents I don't know of are South America & Antarctica!

Despite the wide spread most of my successful research has been with relatives in England. Fortunately it's helped by both Mother & father having uncommon surnames

Immigrant Polish Airmen during WW2.  But imagine my surprise when I found that a lot of them were actually born in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Germany, Russia and, following WW2 changes, the birth places of many who were actually born in Poland were now in Belarus and the Ukraine.  It's confusing but interesting!

My father was from Gateshead, Co. Durham but we emigrated to north of the Tyne to Newcastle (the only ones to do so). His father and family were from South Shields. When I started research I found that nearly all of my extended family were born and died in S/S and to this day so many of them must still be living there. I have been to S/S a few times to do research and look at graves and streets/houses that my ancestors lived in and I wonder as I walk around there am I walking past distant relatives, even people who walk past me and say "hello" could be related. Will never know but a strange feeling.

Who is looking out of the cab. Paul Thommo ?

A photograph on the internet...………….. Ex-LNER Class A2/3 4-6-2 No. 60512 Steady Aim has come off the viaduct over the Caledonian Main Line at Kingmoor with the 9.20am Carlisle Citadel to Edinburgh Waverley train during April 1961. At this time, only five passenger trains each way ran the full length of the Waverley Route on weekdays, the others operating over part of the route only. [S.C. Crook/ARPT]

Last time I was in South Shields was for the Catherine Cookson exhibition at the library.
