1422686 2016-07-06 03:46:00 Is there anyone here that enjoys tracing family?
I have a name that may or may not be my real father but trying to search all the websites is beyond me these days as is the cost.
I was hoping I could find somebody that would enjoy the challenge and has the ability to search through free sites.
Anyone that can I would be pleased to hear from you through Private Messages.

Many thanks for reading this.

1422691 2016-07-07 07:04:00 Yeah been doing it for a while. I extended it a bit obviously. This tree includes the Turnbulls, which inc the current Aussie PM. It also inc Princess Diana's side

If any of you lot are related to the Huxley's, the Gospers, the Turnbulls, the Dorrington/Durrington's, the Cox's, the Ireland's, the Detloff's, the Chaseling's, the Clibben's, the Cobcroft's. Lawler's, Bridge's, Dunston's/Dunstan's, Ellems, they're probably in my tree. Most of them are or were in Oz

And if you're a descendant of Ann Forbes, / related to the Huxley's in Oz, there's a FB page full of their descendants

1422693 2016-07-07 10:06:00 Tut - let me know if you find a link to the Forest of Dean in England/Wales. I may be able to help. John H (8)
1422694 2016-07-08 09:30:00 Tut - let me know if you find a link to the Forest of Dean in England/Wales. I may be able to help.

John, think this question was asked before, wife has a Welsh friend who comes from Wales, she wasn't any help with that previous query.

I tried this in Dr Google: family history for Forest of Dean in England/Wales and you might strike it lucky with any of the links.

I have a sub with Ancestry.co.uk if you want to send a pm on your request.

1422695 2016-07-08 10:31:00 Sorry Lurking, I was a bit cryptic. I meant that if tut found he had links to the Forest of Dean I would be able to help him with a link to the Forest of Dean Family History Trust. They have all the Forest's parish records on line freely available to registered members - only a donation is sought. They also have lots of volunteers willing and able to help and lots of resources such as wills, historical documents, maps, and photos all on line. I am very lucky that my father's paternal line descends from the Forest and I have been able to trace all of that family back to my great great great grandparents through the Trust. Unfortunately it comes to a halt in the 1770s because there are no baptismal records for my great great great grandfather, and my great great great grandmother could be one of two people and I have no way of telling which! I am sure my great great great grandparents are first cousins though, which is probably why I have two heads... John H (8)
