One thing I have a love/ hate relationship is my family history research.
I love the research. I love uncovering the mystery that is my ancestors but I HATE genealogical brick walls more than anything in my life!
At present (and for the last 4 years of searching) I just cannot locate my mother's paternal grandparents. I know the names of my grandfather's parents. I know who my grandfather's paternal grandparents are. But who exactly is his father and when on earth his mother came from is a complete mystery. There are no marriage records. There are family stories, none of which can be confirmed; there are rough dates. The only certainty we have is my grandfather's birth record. I have the certificate! Grrrr!
When I finally get over this brick wall, I think I may create another blog and write down my family history. Who knows!
Well back to trawling the records on Ancestry.com, Find My Past UK and The Genealogist UK!
