I recently heard a phrase which suggested that family history blogs are cousin catchers! I have to agree. I don’t update this poor blog very often but the information is ‘out there’ and I recently received an exciting email from someone who I was very distantly related to.
Jane Bate very kindly filled me in on what happened to the Duncan family where my information left off at the 1911 census.
It was really strange reading about who they married and the children they had, but fascinating to fill in some gaps. Time to update my GEDCOM file and learn how to upload the latest version here I think!
Back in 2005 we also visited Southampton to re-visit some addresses where my ancestors had lived.

I’m sure I can’t be the only person who loves to visit the places their ancestors lived. Thanks to the census and other records it’s possible to get a good idea of the places people lived. On a few occasions my husband has driven me round to look at places although he always makes me get out of the car to take photographs!
