Just wanted to tell you, I have been tracing 2 lines Blewett & Coster, and in the last 3 weeks I have made contact with descendants from BOTH lines in Victoria Australia!!! ancestors went out within 10 years of each other. Even wierder both contacts are called Rhonda!!!

[..lay a little egg for me]

Oh well done. I seem to have drawn a blank in tracing my family history. I can follow back as far as my great grandfather and mother and then the trail goes cold on both sides. I'm just hoping someone else from another part of the tree finds a match with mine one day.

I haven't been on here much as I've been researching mine. Haven't got far on Ancestry. Didn't help that names have been wrongly transcribed on a census However, genes is another matter and I've found details back to the 1700's through distant relations trees.

This family history stuff fascinate me. I can trace my mum's side of the family to way, way back, however, she was the last of her line. Once she died, the whole ancestory was lost. Her surname was James and only myself and my nephew carry on the name in our middle names. I reckon i must have relatives in both Australia and India though. On my mothers side one of my ancestors was deported and later pardoned, but never returned to the UK. On the paternal side, my grandmother's brother went to India and was never seen again. Shame that, because they had some money left them and he had a taking of it. Never got to have it though. Unlikely to get it also, they were born in Edwardian times. For some reason, i suspect he's dead? However, would be interested to know if i have relatives in India.

How strange, having the same names!

 

I've traced mine back to 1788 so far - I really must get round to looking again.

Its so interesting what can be found out about our ancestors. I'm currently heloing my grandma with our family tree and we have managed to go back to 1791 so far on her side.

Also it has got my dad involved so we are also looking at his side of the family where one person emigrated to Australia and had family out there so there are some distance relatives still living out there. Also my great grandpa fought in WW1 in Canada, not sure why he went to Canada to fight though

That is a spooky coincidence, Miffy .

 

Her surname was James and only myself and my nephew carry on the name in our middle names.

 

My maiden name is James and my son has it as his middle name too .

How spooky is that we might be related? The James side of my family originated from the Forest of Dene. However, later from Worksop. It was one of the James's that was deported to Australia. My Great Grandmother was Priscilla James and my Great Grand-father Edwin. My Grand-father was Arthur James, married to Edith Mallett.

Mine came from Wales so we're probably not long lost 4th cousins .

But look how close the forest of Dene is to Wales?
