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

Katie, What details of your family. My husband's great grandfather married a Welsh girl, they moved from Holmfirth, Huddersfield to Wales and back to Huddersfield from the various census data. I noticed quite a lot of people originated in Wales whilst I was researching this line in Huddersfield. Jean in S. Australia. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Katie Chambers" <kschmbrs@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 8:49 AM To: <YORKSGEN@rootsweb.com>; <eng-sheffield@rootsweb.com>; <ENG-YORKSHIRE@rootsweb.com>; <ENG-YKS-BARNSLEY@rootsweb.com>; <ENG-ROTHERHAM@rootsweb.com> Subject: [YORKSHIRE] New member > Hi all, just joined the list a few days back, so thought I would > introduce myself.
