I started in February of last year, when I found a photograph of my mother as a little girl in 1913 standing in the doorway of her father's bakers shop in Blackthorn Street, Bow. I thought it would be nice to try and find reference somewhere to the family living at that address. I now have over 500 names on my tree (not all on GC just in case anyone checks and things I'm fibbing), have taken one branch back to the mid 1500s, been claimed by three previously unknown cousins on my father's side of the family, and have just made contact with a cousin on my mother's side who lives in Canada. And yes, I did find the family in Blackthorn Street. Jan. |

I can understand everyone being addicted, I've only been here for a week and finding it really interesting. I'm hoping to receive my first birth certificate sometime this week and if its the right one - can carry on with my search and hope to get almost as many names as some of you here! thanks Elaine |

HI, Just a year now, and totally hooked. As well as the normal connections through mother and father, I also have a step mother whose line I have been investigating. Oh, and then there's my husband's side, my son in law's side................ Addicted? Well and truly!! Quite a few brick walls to knock down, but loads still to research as well. Thank goodness for the internet, and great family tree software to make life easier. I've started to repay my debt to others by becoming a transcriber for Free BMD - just started 2 weeks ago. Good luck all. Pauline in Cornwall |
