Hi all, just joined the list a few days back, so thought I would introduce myself. I'm Katie, aged 31, and I live in NE Wales. I have always known of my Yorkshire ancestry, as my father's line goes back to the 1820s in Hoyland; but I was also shocked to discover that my mother's paternal line traces back to North Yorkshire in the 1830s! I have been interested in researching my family tree ever since my teens, but have only been researching seriously for the last 2 years. Although I have never lived in Yorkshire, I consider it my spiritual home. Hope this list will be of help to me, and that I in turn will be able to help others. Katie
