I have been looking into my family history for a while now, it's great what discoveries you make, and frustrating when you get stuck, but I have been in touch with distant relatives and it's great to hear and see what information they have.
My latest connection is with family in Germany- thanks to google translate I can get the gist of what they are talking about and hopefully we'll make more discoveries soon along with closer to home Irish relatives. Here are some of the family:
 |
| Great Grandparents: Henry Edward Smith and Emma Smith (nee Schulze) if anyone on the off chance recognizes this man please reply! (I can hope) German and Birmingham England origins |
 |
| Great Grandmother: Sarah Eliza Lovelock (nee Hollingsworth) |
 |
| Great Grandfather: Henry Lovelock. Both London origins and Hollingsworth from Hertforshire areas. |
Hello Sarah, I popped by from Mad about Bags. I too enjoy crafting and am tracing my family tree. I found one ancestor, my 4xgrandfather who was a highway robber and transported to Australia.I thought it was really exciting!

ReplyDeleteYes family history throws all sorts of people your way, my family seems to go from extreemley rich to extreemley poor...and none of the riches lasted long enough to reach us!!I have hit a few brick walls though and struggling to find the answers!Still enjoy it when you find a new peice of info tho.
