Thanks for that Jane!! Will have a go!! Been visiting the court cases in that area, but her family must have been very law abiding! Did find a 'Skargell' linked to her family!!!! In the 1700s though!!!

Kim, Try googling around for some 'local colour' ... Sheffield scenary and local politics. Also, you might be able to 'weave' some national things into your story as well - like who was on the throne, what wars were going on in the background and what effect locally that might have had. Once you start looking, you'll find it comes easily .... Good luck, Jane

Hi All, Am researching my friends family tree, and am going to present her with it soon! Does anyone know of any ways of bringing In a bit of history to spice it up a bit? Trouble is her family were mostly Sheffield Cutlers, and I cant find anything interesting about that!! Dont really want to give her just a list of names, and Census forms - even though she would be grateful for that!! Would love to hear of any ideas?? Thanks!!! x
