    I've been doing mine for a few yrs , it can become costly sending off for certificates to verify , but i love it .
    Hit a brick wall as soon as i started though & still havn't managed to find anything on my g grandad , all i have is his name .I thought i would trace his son as he had a very unusual name , only to find for some unknown reason when he married his named changed completly. How can you go from Gambetter Dupre , to Henry Austin ???? Jeeeeeeezzzzzz i'm gonna make sure i make it real hard for my lot to trace me , Lord Lucan would be easier to find than some of mine but i'm hooked .

    Hi Chippie ,

    Honest to god you couldn't make it up could you ? I'm wondering if he ever existed all i've got is his name & occupation from my nans b cert. By 1901 he's vanished with no trace of a B M or D . I can find one fella who might fit , he married in 1903 in London but even if i send off for that cert it won't prove anything as i don't have any details to compare only guess work ,
    i'll find him one day

    luv Karen

    I,ve let up on my tree lately too Karen because the holes are like an old sock I used to have years ago, ha ha. but I go back every now and again to see can "fresh eyes" make any effect, and , you,d be surprised, sometimes it does.

    good luck Karen x

    I was a Hughes too !, I have Hughes marrying Hughes !,Jones marrying Jones !!, Davies,Cobain,Knott,Buckley,Roe,Rowe,Most of them originate from Wales Amlach !and other places,I have got back to the late 1700's and have to say it cost me fortune sending for all the certificats etc,but it is so worthwhile .
    The thing I find sad is that I never asked my Nan etc all the history when she was here !.

    Karen, did you notice in the 1901 census that Gambetta's mother is named Mary Alice AUST?....not too far away from AUSTIN.

    Hi Dave ,
    Thanks , i eventually after purchasing futher certs figured it out , but that was also confusing Mary Alice Aust , she was actually , Mary Alice Millington , then Alice Stack , then according to nans b cert Alice Dupre , then finally Alice Aust ,
    Just off to check as i'm sure i have Mc Evoy's somewhere .
    Thanks again Dave
    Karen
