Jason if you are going to family history then you are going to have to accept that you need to invest in some certificates.

You also need to realise that the work that's been done on here is done by other members using their own subscriptions so it's best to acknowledge the help you've been given as it is considerable.

Hi
I am hoping someone can help.
I am trying to find out my family history on my father's side.
My dad is named - Peter Charles Ellam born 04.01.1953. His father was also Peter Ellam born 1929. My dad's mothers name is Joan Ellam but I am unsure on her maiden name.
My granddad originally came from Huddersfield and came to Portsmouth o join the Royal Navy.
I would love to find out as much as I can on the family history and as far back as possible. I do not know where to start. Please can anyone help?
