You will be surprised at the help I feel sure you will get and also about what comes up, though you could get a shock or two when you delve into the past. I might even be able to help you as well. Margaret is spot on with family research but as she said she has a lot on her plate at the present time. She certainly has.
Of course you might not be needing any help with your research but if you do and you take up my suggestion then you should probably start a new thread about it in a different section.

Sorry Dotti, I have only just seen this post, in answer to your first question I have managed to trace some of my good ladies, (The wife) and my ancestors to the Fifteen Hundreds. It seems that Hazel's female family line the "Thistlethwaites", goes back to the Quaker, "Society of Friends" movement, that originated in the Yorkshire Dales; only a Chicken stride from where we live now. This is the third year that I have subscribed to the "My Heritage" web site and I Usually spend a couple or more hours a day doing the research; I am even seriously thinking of getting my daughter to download it when finished, onto one of these Fire Stick Thingies and having it printed professionally into a hardback book. Maybe some of "my" relatives worked on the Railways as I could be getting a little above my station! Ha-Ha.
