Thanks once again to you all for the information, now I have another question for you. Which sites would you recommend for a group of newbies to join. It may seem strange but I would like paid sites only with urls etc. Yorkie

Hi Yorkie, You'd have to decide whether this is any good for a group but as an individual I have found Genes Reunited very productive. When you join you get a personal family tree maker which you access every time you log on so no matter how many times your computer crashes your research is still there. There is lots of space for extra details that you might know about each ancestor and you can upload old photographs if you want to. You can search the site to find other people who are researching the same names as you. And also other members will contact you if your tree has any individuals they are interested in. The more names you add to your family tree the more contacts you will get. I have had about 30 or 40 contacts since December and almost half of those have turned out to be positive in which the other person and I had common ancestors. When you have a positive contact you can with mutual permission view each other's tree and so share information. It's £9.95 for a year's membership. http://www.genesreunited.co.uk Best wishes, Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: <AYorkie19@aol.com> To: <ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 27, 2006 5:14 PM Subject: [B.C.] re Ancestory > Thanks once again to you all for the information, now I have another > question for you.

I must agree I have had more actual contacts via this route than any other.

Hi Kay, I notice you have Rollasons in your list of research names. Would you happen to have Stephen c1802 Dudley in there?
