Hi Everyone

Post by Welshgen »

I hail from Gwynedd in North Wales. Not new to genealogy as I have been researching for about 10 years now on a regular basis. Due to the amount of info I have on Welsh genealogy I seem to have spent more time helping others to find their relatives than concentrating on my own. http://welshgen.webs.com/index.htm
Mainly looking for DARBY, BLUNT and PERKS. Most unusual name I have come across but no link as yet is HISSANOVEN. Found a link to this site on Tribal Pages. I know I have at least 50 living relatives in the Black Country or thereabouts, but am really struggling to connect to them. Inherited a small amount of money a while ago that went to probate (solicitor refused to help me out with addresses) and that has given me the dig I probably needed to start looking in earnest. I'll have a look round the boards first before starting to pump you for info.
P.S. I spend my spare time browsing the Rootschat and Ancestry.com forums.

Hi Welshgen

Welcome to the forum :grin:

For the Black Country area we happen to have a dedicated Black Country Genealogy section!
Just scroll down the main board and post any queries, for that area, in there.

Quite a few of us are involved in the Black Country Connections tree and you can read about
that if you click on my website link on any of my posts.

For any other counties then the General Discussion section is the place to post and we will
all do our best to help

:wink:

Hi Northern Lass, thanks for the welcome.
I also meant to mention (but forgot...it's my age, hehe) that I have access to the whole of Ancestry.com thanks to a generous person in the USA who was grateful for my finding three generations of his Welsh ancestors. The only thing I am lacking is time (sigh)

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

After all those welcomes I feel right at home already. Stretches his legs out under the table and gets comfy. A big thank you to you all.
