    Default not exactly new but a bit of a lurker

    I've been a member on here for a while but never done anything about it.live in the Newcastle area of the UK but the ancestors come mainly from Ireland and Scotland, I've been researching seriously for over 12 yrs but as a 12-14 yr old started asking questions and collecting photos from my grandparents and great aunts ,so I knew a fair amount about the great grandparents ,but not all of it proved to be correct a lot of embroidery of some stories went on, and the generations info was a bit overlaped I'm getting a bit stuck now with brick walls ,the're gradually being knocked down but it's a long slog ,

    Hi searcher,
    Good to see you.
    We quite like long stories.
    Put a few names up on the brickwall forum and someone may know something/ have your folk in their tree or offer some help.
    Happy new Year.

    Hello searcher. Yes it is fascinating to find your ancestors. I am afraid it is all often too common for families to embroider their family tales - a bit like chinese whispers and sometimes sifting out any grains of truth can take forever. I have Irish ancestors too as I am sure lots of people do - but yes give us some names and dates and I am sure someone will be able to help.
