I did my own family history a few yea...Hi, Colette. I did my own family history a few years ago but, since then, two very helpful sites have come into being - Ancestry.co.uk and Findmypast. Once you subscribe (and there are different subscription packages), you can search in them for both GRO records (births marriages and deaths) and census returns which are particularly interesting because they show you where the people originated, their occupations, who lives with them and what kind of neighbourhood it is. <br /><br />One tip re birth certificates etc - although the sites will offer to obtain certificates for you, it's always cheaper to get them yourself from the relevant local registration office. <br /><br />It's a really fascinating hobby, especially at the beginning when you're making new discoveries, so I hope you enjoy yourself.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05860509258762155057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-23378732606633863512012-09-17T13:04:35.911+01:002012-09-17T13:04:35.911+01:00You might find this helpful, Colette http://deptg...You might find this helpful, Colette http://deptgene.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/getting-started.html It's a post from my son's genealogy blog and tells you good places to start your search :-) xTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903386787317265543.post-90005829940876554712012-09-17T08:00:05.551+01:002012-09-17T08:00:05.551+01:00I've sent you an email, Colette.I've sent you an email, Colette.Paula RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550276147711384895noreply@blogger.com
