Hello Sheila 56.
Welcome to the site, this is a very friendly site and I was made welcome the moment I joined, so your in good company,
with regard to ancestry to which is fascinating, as you never know just what you'll find, for example when my father died young as a result of an accident I always thought he could possibly have a brother or a sister, as my mother never spoke of him to me,
without going into a long story as a result of ancestry ,I later learned
that my father had in fact five other sisters and five other brothers, too, as he was the eleventh in the family,
on another occasion when researching my step brothers family I found a family member who had led a double life in that this man kept two families going, for number of years before he retuned back to his original family,
he had been a sailor for many years, going back and forth to sea, ??
so researching, births deaths and marriages, in either the family tree, or even other peoples family trees, which can reveal more information,as well as the Census,s from 1841 up to 1911 is very interesting reading of where they lived, what work or trades they had, as well as other family members, its all very much like doing detective work, seeking and looking for clues, you never know what's waiting to be found, its all very exciting, but remember to stop for a cup of tea, or coffee, as at times it can get to you, the concentration of staring at the screen, so having a break from time to time helps the eyes have a rest too,.
so wishing you good luck, and I hope you'll find many answers ,filling the gaps in your family tree,
ALFRED,
