After recieving an advert on Friends Reunited about this site, i have done what i always wanted to do and that is trace my family tree. After a few months of looking at various websites and asking for help on several message boards i have been able to confirm family rumours, that at one time their was money in my family. I found my ggreatfather EDWARD MILNER living at HARFORD MANOR in Cheshire. Some kind soul from a Cheshire website sent me a photograph of him c1886 and several details of his career, a director of Brunnel Mond @ Co, an Alkali company and of his eductaion. They even sent me details of his parents (my gggranparents) and of his wife. So if you are new to geneaology as i was, dont be afraid to ask for help and advice as there are lots of people more experienced than we will ever be, willing to give you the benefits of there experience.
