Had a really good sort out of boxes in the spare room today and found some documents I had long since given up hope of discovering. Remarkably, I found my family tree dating back to 1745 on my father’s mother’s side. The Richards family were huge with great, great, great grandad having fathered 13 children. He did have two wives however! There are also a lot of children called Solomon.
The most interesting fact is that several of my ancestors share the same birthday as me, only 200 hundred years apart!
I’ve been on the census this afternoon trying to locate a bit more information as some of the dates are missing and the spouse’s names are a bit vague.
Had some very useful tips from a good friend who has a lot more knowledge and experience in tracing family history than myself, so I shall report back on my findings as I explore further.
Really excited about this!
Time for another entry!
