Oh Jean.....how dreadful for you......did you have the right people on the groom's side????? Might the line you have followed still be to do with your family, or is the name Smith or similar????? As they say on General, Big Hugs.... (((((((((((((((((((x))))))))))))))))))) Merry

Oh Jean!!! Take heart - I think we have ALL done this at some stage. The few times I have failed to get essential certs because i KNEW something was a fact, have always turned out to be something that wasnt a fact! (As for deleting them from your tree, well, you are on your own there - mine is now such an irretrievable mess that I am starting to hope someone DOES steal it!) OC

Got my gran and grandads marriage cert this morning and I've been working for two years on the WRONG branch of my family. I really can't believe it. This has completely thrown me. Travelling to graveyards Paying for certificates The photographs Talking to people in Canada and America The paper The waste...the time spent. All because my uncle told me where his mother was born and I believed him. I'll now have to get OC out of her corner to tell me how to delete them all and start putting new ones in their place. I really don't believe it.....but I should have bought their marriage certificate FIRST. Jean
