Hi Derrick,



Welcome to Ancestry Aid, I hope you enjoy the site. I got back to about 1812 when I hit a brick wall. All the records for a parish had been lost. I started researching all the families that I had come across to that point. Then a few years ago when an old boarded-up church was being cleared ready for demolition, all the records were found. None of these had made it on to IGI or any of the other sites so it meant they could only be got from one recods office. I have now got back to 1673. Until I hit this problem, the hardest part was finding my Grandparents. On my mother's side I only found her maternal grandmother a couple of months ago. Her Father's side I still have not got anywhere with. but I will not give up. Good luck with your research.

Hi Derrick,



Welcome to AA I am sure that you will find lots to do on the site and plenty of help should you need it.



Good luck with the research we all hit the brick walls from time to time, then find more names that lead to the next puzzle.
