Hi, New to the forum and genealogy

Post by Serena88 »

Hi,
I am new here and have begun researching my family history.
I think my family have come from the South of England mainly, and I am doing what I can to find out about surnames DUNHAM, WALLACE, ELDRIDGE, HOAD, CHARMAN, BALLANTYNE.
I have hit brick walls when I find relatives with the name John Smith :roll: and also one relative with a wonderfully unique name, which he hated so much he used a host of others!
Having done a free trial with Ancestry.co.uk and collected what info I can from BMD indexes I am currently trying to decide which site to subscribe to, there's so many, it's so confusing!
So, Hello everyone!

Hi Serena, welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Welcome to the forum. It's a perennial problem; which package? None of them are perfect and you can bet your life that the one vital bit of info you need isn't in the package you've bought. :roll: There's more advice in the Beginners section and in the General section (especially in Software & Miscellaneous).
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.
