I only get hints with US ship lists etc though it clearly says my ancestors (the ones I know about) have been born and died in Germany... but I'm still putting all the information into the family tree and am far from finished. Takes AGES but it's a nice task and hopefully one day I'll make a big discovery =DMarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564518531518691305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219396507909291423.post-28828360915795801652013-04-18T07:47:28.255+12:002013-04-18T07:47:28.255+12:00Hi Mara,
It's amazing what you can find out is...Hi Mara,<br />It's amazing what you can find out isn't it? SAdly I haven't been able to find out much about my family but JP and I sined up to ancestry.uk with the global package as well and we have found out sooooo much stuff already...<br />JP's ancestors were amazing and there is so much stuff about. Jp's Grandma's cousin was a German actress, his great-great-grandfather was mayor of Leicester and is in a painting in the National Gallery and another great-great-grandfather invented elastic webbing. He had his own factory and when he died left the family several millions in nowadays' currency. They sold his patents and technology to NASA and the seats for one of the appollo rockets used that same elastic webbing. We are amazed. There are also books about - we have aready found 3 books that family members have written or that have been written about them. Really exciting stuff.<br />Hope you have joy exploring and find loads. <br />Much love and hopefully chat soon xxxxxx<br />jenny and Jp xxx Jenny Helmernoreply@blogger.com
