[craft1948]

how long have you been into genealogy jack?

[jackthehat]

I've been doing my family tree for about 7 years..............Most evenings I am alternating between CB and Family History sites............

[craft1948]

I started about 5 years ago and find it fascinating.....it's all been done from the internet so far but have got to the stage where I have to go out and about....

[jackthehat]

I get about 2 days per year where I am accompanied on my 'dead relative huntings' with good grace...........the rest of the time is full of dark mutterings and harumphings.........:o)

My late father was a shetlander so my sister and I are hoping to go there later this year...............we've never been and he still has a sister there who is about 90..........

if you went on ancestry.co.uk and did a search for your grandmothers childrens birth, the entry often contains the mothers maiden name, I have found a few that way

you could also search for their marriage and that will give you her maiden name

[cazzz1975]

I am subscribed to a few places, I could do a search for you if you would like

I dont know anything about all this, but would love to trace my family tree, do you have to pay for every search you make when looking on-line for certificates....if so is it expensive?
