To date, my research covers Australia, Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and New Zealand. I haven't uncovered any rich or famous people in my family. However, what I have found is a group of ordinary, hardworking people who were simply trying to provide a better life for their families in times that, more often than not, were difficult. Thrown into the mix are a few black sheep who put an interesting slant on the history of this family.
It's good to have a few 'black sheep' in the family, because they create an interesting paper trail! (I hope you won't be offended if I suggest that you put your given name or a nickname on your blog or your Blogger profile. In my experience, that will make your readers more inclined to interact with you.)
