Thread: Hello - Newbie finding her way around

Hiya



I just joined and have been browsing through the site. Very interested on the threads especially regarding the 1911 census. Unfortunately I cant get them until 2012 as a member of Ancestry arrrrgggghhhh . I have had a quick look in the chat room but there's rarely anyone there. Is there a particular time or day when its used by people? I haven't got round to it yet but I have a extensive Gedcom to upload onto the site. I'll be very interested to find out what features the tree maker has on here.



Anyway, a little about me: I've been researching for about 5 or 6 years now, maybe more, and have come to more or less a stand still as I need to get to local record offices to go back beyond 1837 records but many of my ancestors came from different parts of the country and even abraos so that will be quite a task. I am also into scrap booking and am creating a family tree scrapbook until I can get to those record offices to do more research. The main tree I intend to do on proper vellum parchment which is expensive but will last a life time so I'm also learning caligraphy and illumination to make the finished tree truly stunning. All major projects, especially considering I'm pregnant with my first child, but I will get there one day.



Anyway, I'm looking forward to using the site and getting to know people.
