Thread: Hello everyone!

Hi all,



Thought I'd better stop by here to introduce myself. I'm not new to internet forums, but this is the first one I've joined to do with genealogy, unless you count posting on the "Trying To Find" board at GR!



I've been researching my tree since the 1901 census came out, and courtesy of sites like ancestry.co.uk and familysearch.org I've done quite well. I have, however reached a real sticky point with my mum's maternal grandmother which is why I've signed up here. I'm hoping I can get a bit of help and advice with tracing my great grandparents marriage record. I figure I need that in order to find out the name of Ellen's father.



Anyways, a little about me...



I'm 40 years old (as of yesterday!), married to Keith and we have two children - Krisstofer who's 15 and Louise who's 12 but think she's 16!



I'm ex Army, as is Keith, and having taken 13 years out to be a full time mum, I now work in the accounts office of a local vehicle movements company. Keith currently works for a small company making components for go-karts and Caterhams out of carbon fibre but finishes there at the end of October to begin training as a Prison Officer.



That's about it, I think.

Hi Saara,

Hi Chris,



Will make a start on adding my surnames now. Some are spread over different counties though, so do I enter the surname once for each county or can I put multiple counties down for one surname?

Ok, I've added them



I entered the surnames once for each county, hope that's ok, and I only entered the ones for my direct ancestors and not those from spouses of siblings.
