At the census of 1841 there were twenty individuals surnamed Young in Tulliallan Parish, Perthshire (since 1891 in Fife). At this census, the first undertaken in the UK, information collected was minimal. Familial relationships and birthplace were left out. They were added at the next census in 1851.

A Different Approach.... Is iIt Needed

It seems there are so many sites out there that researchers, yes even older researchers are getting a bit frustrated.

My serious concern is the loss of Rootsweb.com with their surname files and  lists for regions you can share your data with people with.  Have not heard how New York is doing with our records either. Now that is a state of major need for me on four lines.  

So reading NGS, NEHGS and…

“Researching in School…

As an introductory post, I felt this was an appropriate subject.  After all, as a genealogist or family historian, your overall goal is to fill in as much of the family tree as possible; to find out who the people were who are responsible for your very existence!  Brick Walls in your tree prevent that, which is obviously frustrating.  I want to talk about some of my own brick walls, and perhaps some things that have helped me break through previous brick walls.  Do you have information for…

It is not possible that “John” was Oliver Burden’s saint name as has been suggested.  Saint names were never placed on marriage certificates according to the Director of Archives and Records, Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston in Wheeling, West Virginia.

I am related to the watchmakers in Prescot.  I have been able to sort about a few links, the main problem at the moment is that of Joshua Hewitt  1786-1839. his parents. I cannot find them anywhere.

Hello to all of you in the genealogy wise group!

My name is Mike Napper and I have been doing research on my family for some time. I have learned that what is written is not always true and a lot of errors occurred in census data recording between the questions asked and interpretation of the answers received. It has been my experience to hit hot spots and really gain information and to turn around and crash into a  brick wall making no progress. I don't give up; but,…

I cannot find anything on these two, my 3rd Great Grandparents.  When their son, Walter Morris Flint was born they were in Dracut, Billerica, Tewksbury area.  Birth date of Walter was Jan. 1, 1831-1833. It varies by record.  Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Meredeth

My 2nd ggfather Walter was born on Jan 1, 1831-1833, in either Dracut,  Billerica or Tewksbury Mass., depending on the document.  I can find nothing on his parents.  Any information on Samuel or Mary or suggestions as to where to look would be so helpful. Thanks,

    The reason for this article came about after a rather public argument I had with a person who is considered the greatest authority on the history of all things Mayflower and the Scrooby movement and the Walloon church. I myself believe this to be true to an extent. I did find him to be mistaken in a couple of matters that I have researched most diligently. He had made the statement and published it in books that Francis Cooke of the Mayflower was a Walloon. I vigorously disagree…
