Hi Molly, I agree with Kath. Unless you have pretty reliable evidence of earlier generations (I was lucky in having a family photo from around 1900 with all the names on it), you could be barking up the wrong tree. |

I think you need to get your own sub and also read the Tips for Newbies - Ill nudge it up for you. You need to verify information by buying certificates. And you need access to census information. |
