Geneology

One of my other hobbies. Have managed to go back to the early 1800s. No nobles and no significant wealth, some things don't change! lol

I do think geneology is interesting. I have traced mine and my husband's ancesters back a ways, but after a couple of generations, it does get hard to get the information.

I have done a lot of my family history too. It is so interesting what you find out isn't it. Lots of skeletons sometimes. No aristocracy in our family either ha ha

I enjoy this too- my cousin has done extensive research on our family and learned that my paternal grandmother's family were among the first settlers of New Amsterdam (which is now known as New York City!). Love the picture- was that 3 sisters getting married at the same time?

It really is an interesting hobby

I was able to follow my family back to late 1800 who came from Guernsey. Seems there were a few criminals ;-)

Lovely image. My dad has been doing his family tree. He's got back to about the 1700s I think he said. Struggling a bit now.

I like your collage. I do a lot of genealogy too, and the very best part is when I find photos. Good luck on your searches!

@olivetreeann the wedding photo is actually my mum & dad. Fm L to R , my Dad’s cousin, his sister, dad, mum, my mums friend & my mums Dad. Not sure who the children are, but not related. This took place 22.09.1945.

Very interesting- well done! Must have taken a lot of time to go back so far

[Denise Wood]

great hobby though :)

[JackieR]

Wow, how long has you it taken you to go back that far?? I'm in awe of you to ahve the dedication to search through archives and Ancestry etc. TV make it look so easy (and cheap).

[Beryl Lloyd]

So interesting to research and take a look at your ancestors

[TanaCh]

What a wonderful hobby!

[Carole G]

How do you find the time to do that as well?

[Mave]

I love tracing my family. I have got a long way back with my father. Just starting on mum this week. Interesting picture.

[Susan]

Fascinating. I got ours back to 1666 - definitely no Lords, Ladies or nobles but some very interesting things emerged. Enjoy!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Its taken me a good few years, on & off.

[Phil Sandford]

When you finish doing your family tree, you might like to take a look at mine. Just asking

[Sue Cooper]

A great hobby. My Mother had a great interest in genealogy and did all the hard work for me 😊.
