Hello Margaret,

Welcome to AA, hope you enjoy the site and find your elusive ancestors with the help of all the members who are only to happy to help you if you hit
a brick wall, No body's bitten anyone a great bunch of members with the patience of a saint, so don't be afraid to ask for any help you may need.

Hi Margaret,

Welcome to Ancestry Aid,

Good luck with your research.

Thank you Don for the welcome, I am not a genealogist I am just an expert at annoying people.

Thank you Pauline for the very warm welcome. I hit my brick wall a while ago with an elusive Norfolk ancestor. I found him again by chance in FreeReg.

Thank you Gillian, I have a lot of my ancestry on my family tree at Ancestry.co.uk but I don't want to only have the one. Ancestry Aid seems a great site so I will keep a record on here too and hopefully get involved with the community here. I have more brick walls about my Scottish Ancestry than my English Ancestry. Hopefully at some point someone on here can help.

Hi Hazelnut, I visited this site a few times before it was revamped and I must say it looks great now. What put me off before was the fact that there was not a Family Tree on here, it just didn't grab me. Now it has a Family Tree function and I can stay here and when I get bored copying out all my records and data I can pop into the forum for ideas, a bit of conversation and annoy the researchers who I hope will encourage me to keep searching. If I can also help other users and it is within my capability then I will do what I can.

Margaret your more than welcome to be part of aa. The tree is a great asset to the site and very simple to use, Join in with us whenever you want .
