Hi, there doesnt seem to be much activity in the family history section so I am hoping the geneologists lurk on here to help me.
I started doing my DD's family tree when she was born nearly 12 months ago (sob that she is nearly a year..different thread)
Anyway, I have managed to get about 6-8 generations back across the different bloodlines etc. But on one part I have hit a true brick wall, absolutely solid, and on the other lines I have gone right back with census, parish records etc.
So 2 questions 1, how do I attempt at tracking my great grandmothers birth details etc. I can find her on the census, i can find her marriage cert etc but i cannot find her birth, her parents marriage anything.
And 2, how do I start building up a bigger picture of these ancestors and their stories other than the dates and occupations etc that the census provides.
