Thread: Hello. I am a newbie member but experienced genealogist.

Hi

I have just joined this forum. My name is Ben and I have been a keen genealogist for 5 years now. Many, many times have I been to record offices, have stacks of certs, gone back to the 1500s on some lines, and am even thinking about writing up my success stories. I have ancestors from London, Sussex, Suffolk, Durham, Oxon, Kent, Essex, Norfolk, Scotland, France, Yorkshire, Berkshire and Devon/Dorset.

Genealogy is a hobby of mine and I am always doing family history research in my spare time.
