Digging at one's roots
I've always had a bit of the genealogy bug in me thanks to great stories from my grandfather on one side and my other grandfather's complete lack of family information on the other.
This site has helped feed this and lead me to follow something I was told about there being more 'celts' in our family history than most of us thought of.
So here's a few of my findings by tracing the women that the men in my family married and had children with:
Jones from Wales
Corathers from Ulster
Bennett from Edinburgh
Hunter from Perthsire
McElwaine from County Sligo
Hall from Roxsburghshire
Add that to the Scandinavians-by-way of Balquidder of the men in my family and the olive-pure Siclians from my mon's side ;-) and WHAT a mix, eh?
The real treasure has been in finding documentation of birth/death/christening/transit records of these ancestors.
Thanks all for helping feed this 'other' addiction. We're probably all kin here, ha!
