It's a good idea not to be married at all, change your name now and then (first and surnames, naturally) and also have some wild leap in occupation, say from road sweeper to Chairman of a building society, or vice versa. If, on the other hand, you want your descendants to find you, commit a major crime. It will be in all the papers as well as many official documents. If my poor mad great, great grand-uncle hadn't killed someone, I would never have had details such as his hair and eye colour, height etc nor read the words his mother spoke at his committal hearing. nell |

Nice one Rebecca! You'll definitely make it to the 'Trying To Find' board in 100 year's time!! Don't forget to put a different birthplace on each Census Return as well, just to spice things up a bit. |

Lol... I always thought I would make it easier, but now you've given me some ideas. I've already started making it hard. My first hubby beat me so I divorced him after 18 months, number 2 died after we had been married 4 weeks (we had lived together for 10 years) number 3 is an irish catholic th youngest of 17..... 4 different surnames. Could be fun Rebecca |

From now on I shall be sure to get all my details wrong on my Census returns, make sure I marry someone called Smith in London, and name my child John, also known as Joe, Jonathan, Jonty or Fred Smith. I intend to move house and city every two years, and swap husbands every other year - making sure, of course, that I get the Vicar drunk before he fills out the marriage certificate. Any else got any tips on how we should make things more of a challenge for the future generations who inherit our family trees? Or, if you're feeling kind, ways to make it easier for them? |
