As some of you know that I am going through a crap time at the mo, so I have decide to try my hand at doing my family tree, in the hope that it keeps me busy! My Uncle gave my dad a family tree that he had done and have took a pic of it and now I have it on my lap top. Must say his writting is very old school so its taken me a while to get through it. He has gone as far back as my GreatGreat Grandparents! Who where born in 1862! I have now found all their children through the census! My Dad was a born a Broadey but because his mother remarried when he was young he took his stepdads name as Marriott. So I should be a Broadey not a Marriott. Much rather be a Broadey!

I tried my hand at this last year and found to my mum and her sisters utter amazement they had another uncle that had died aged 3 and was a twin to thier uncle who survived they said nan had never mentioned him but they did'nt talk about things like that years ago I suppose
 
My grandad and dad have traced back our family tree, to about the 1700s I think.. pretty interesting, but havn't found anyone famous yet ;)
 
I think we've got one somewhere. My uncle is Lou Lou's cousin or somethn like that.. Nothin to be proud of :D
 
Lucinda beats us all hands down in the famous relative stakes ;D Her great x7 Grandfather was Horatio Nelson :o

I do my family tree on and off, it's interesting but I keep on hitting brick walls ?
 
I'm in touch with a few people on genes reuntied and we have managed to go back as far as 1628 :)
