Have you ever watched...find my past...?

Question

and have you researched your family history..

Answer 1

If you mean the likes of Who Do You Think You Are then yes, though I haven't researched family history- though apparently (and this is absolutely true) there was someone in my family who was a mercenary called "Mad Mike" Hoare. I'd love to find out more about him if I had the chance!

Answer 2

Neither, but a cousin researched my father's history on the male line back to the 15th century.

Answer 3

no i dont know the programme Poppy, but i would like to research my family history, i think it would be fascinating

Answer 4

I watched that other one on BBC 2, I can't remember what it's called. It's TV presenters and people like that looking up their past.

I've thought about doing it, but never really found the time to do it.

Answer 5

I'd like to do that

Shady,this Priest,how did he manage to pass the name on seeing as Priests don't marry?Back in those days if a woman said she was having a priests child she'd be locked in the mad house.

Answer 6

i would love too but unfortunately both my parents are deceased so i don,t know maiden names etc

Answer 7

I started researching my family tree about a year ago.

I am a member on Genesreunited and Ancestry.com

In the past few months I have been in touch with several people who have the same lineage as me, and a couple of weeks ago have been put in touch with a lady whose grandmother was my gt grandmothers sister, she has put me in touch with a girl from Canada who is also directly linked to us both.

I still have a lot of work to do and have come up against a lot of brick walls, but it is something I enjoy doing in my spare time.

Answer 8

No, but I would love to research my family history.

Things like that I find really interesting - Who Do You Think You Are is on tonight, thanks for reminding me xx

Answer 9

I've never watched the programme, but for about 5 years I have researched my families history. It is ,as you say, time consuming. As a result of doing this I have found one or two skeletons rattling about in cupboards, met a lot of cousins and distant relatives that I never knew existed and learned a lot about employment, working and living conditions from years ago. I think that it has all been well worth the effort, it is still ongoing.

Answer 10

No I haven't watched that programme.

My younger brother is still researching our family through the paternal line.

My niece is doing the same via my our maternal line.
