Tracing your Family Tree

Have you ever thought of who your ancestors were?
Ever tried to start tracing your family tree but hit a brick wall?
What if you do find people in your past that you would rather not have been there?
Is there some skeletons in your closet?
It can be rather scary but fully rewarding, but mind you once you start there is no turning back. It becomes an obsession. Ever piece of information uncovered, fuels the fire and pushes you on. Sometimes you will be on information overload, others it seems like the well has dried up.
In my next few posts I will endeavor to pass on some tips and hints and a few stories or two.
These are only my experiences and most of what I know is just by learning as I went along, and we of course never stop learning, which is the best bit about this all.
