Certificates are important. Your own birth Certificate gives the names of your parents, Your Father's occupation and date and place you were born.. That could be either your mother's own parish or where your parents worshiped. Your Parent's marriage certificate gives each of their fathers' names [your 4 G'parents] and where their marriage took place. [usually in Bride's paish] and your parents ages if under 21 at the time. Your Parent's Birth certificates gives both their Parents' names. And if alive or deceased on the date of the event. Find your G'parents Marriage Certificates and their Death certificates. Their Marriage Certificates will give their parent's names. [Your 8 GG'parents] Look for Announcements in Newspapers. Search for a Will or Letters of Administration. Those were not always processed immediately. I've known them be years after the death. Viola --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

Indeed Vi... one Campbell one took 108 years!! Millions and Millions and my Margaret got £5..... grrrrrrrrr! :-)) The resealed ones can "be interesting" especially if still resealed! Currently waiting on a Marriage Agreement from 1780's, so worth looking at them too. So much on line... and Griffith books coming on line in 4 weeks or so. 10 weeks apparently until all the RC are released... barring gremlins, which there probably will be.... Sure have been massive changes in last few years with so much now on line. Dave. On 18/03/2015 23:50, Viola Wiggins via wrote: > Search for a Will or Letters of Administration.
