Dea Thank you. Louise Yes, I know, I've been there before. What a maddening hobby this is! Never mind, I am going to see my mum tomorrow and show her photos of her grandparents' grave, which she's never seen. nell |

Nell, Remember that sometimes it is better to travel in hope than to arrive. I got a cert in the post this morning but it was the wrong one! Seven pounds wasted and back to square one!!! I hope yours are OK when they do arrive. Louise |

Oh Boy , I've missed you lot. I've been internetless since I tried to go Broadband on thursday. Had to ask the husband of a work colleague to sort it out for me in the end . First thing I read when he left is this & I'm off laughing already. Thanks everyone Vivienne |

Oh Nell, I shouldn't laugh but initials? lol Just typical isn't it? I think they're all up there having a good laugh at us and every once in a while throw us a few crumbs just to keep themselves entertained as we scurry around pecking at them! Daisy |

Daisy Glad to hear about your breakthrough. I am getting very cross with some of my rellies. I found one today who I think is a cousin of my great-grandfather. Got him on the 1891 census and the blighter has just put initials for all his children and self!!!!! What a nuisance! nell |

Normally Nell I would agree with you as my brick walls have been driving me insane. However, as Lou knows, I had a major breakthrough with 2 of them last night so I'm very happy today. Have just ordered 5 certificates today and am hoping they'll hold a few more nuggets. Can't suggest a cure for impatience as I'm the world's worst! Daisy |

Hi, I've just had a laugh at all your comments. I was thinking I'd got some sort of illness, I can't leave my computer alone. I keep thinking of different tracks to go down & I'm off - tapping into BMD or something. I have cleared up a few problems this morning, but I think I've been on for nearly a week solidly since I bought FTM. I'm also waiting for certs I sent off for loads at once, in my anxiety. Is there a cure? |

Dea That was this morning! This is now! I actually feel more impatient now that I have ordered the certs than I did earlier. Silly I know. I bet when they arrive they won't have the info I want, or will just raise a lot of other questions... never mind. I have been going through all my research files and am staggered at how much I have found out (and managed to forget I had found out) in the last 2 years, mainly with help from the brilliant people here. Lou How can I afford a good therapist, I've just spent a fortune on certificates!!!!! nell |

Not at all Nell - I have to order a birth certificate to confirm parents names, but not 'allowed' till beginning of next month (had my quota this month!!) Also an unrelated marriage cert to help on a different line I'm stuck at....but like you I don't want to wait, I want them NOW!!! lol |

I know nobody can help. I have come to some brick walls in my research and have ordered some certs which I hope will give me some information to enable me to move forwards. I am now eaten up with impatience I WANT THEM NOW! I need to know who John Matthews' dad was and I want his marriage cert NOW! Ditto Annie Broad who married in 1897. Not only do I want to confirm she is the right Annie, I also want her address so I can find her in 1891. I want to know NOW!! And I must find out what Charles Vine died of in 1896 and I have to have the parents names on John william Chowns' death cert from 1851... am I being unreasonable? nell |
