Family History

Pandoren

One of my interests is researching my family tree. I've done fairly well with it (I'm back past UK registration on all sides bar illegitimates where the parent isn't known). I have a few interesting or frustrating ancestors here and there.

One sort of sad thing is that I only seem to like my relatives when they are long dead...

Anyone else like doing their family trees?

  • I mentioned people on here talking about relatives they have spoken to through or because of their family tree research - I have offended probably every "relative" I have found through genealogy. I don't know how I do it! So if you still have people speaking to you, you are doing better than me.

    I was told about http://www.origins.net/ for genealogy and it seemed really good because it was free. But then I began to find that it was not complete (a lot of missing information) and also incorrect information. I contacted the site and informed them that the information was incorrect, but they didn't correct it or reply to me.

    www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the best site for Scottish genealogy. I use http://ancestry.co.uk/ too. I really struggle researching Canadian relatives, and English relatives, as I haven't found sites as good as Scotlandspeople for these nationalities.

    I wonder if anyone else is researching Scottish family? I would love to discuss what people have found when researching this region, or share hints and tips.
