Baldock/Fagg/Small Family

Last night I got back into looking through my resources for the village I grew up in, St. Nicholas-At-Wade, and starting hunting down family members.

After a lot of digesting (which is still going on!), I am now finding names appearing in my tree which I recognise from growing up in the village!

Included amongst these is the unfortunate story of a mother and her 11-year-old daughter who died at Sarre in 1940 during a World War II air raid.

Families we knew, talked to and played with at school are now appearing as (distant) relatives.

It all brings more tangible meaning to the phrase ‘It’s a small world’ ….

I have finally got around to updating my tree on Ancestry.co.uk ! It took a while to merge in (it has been a while since it worked in Family Tree Maker), but I got there eventually, hopefully without mistakes.

I can now make use of the ‘hint’ feature for my new data – something I find to be one of the best things about FTM. It’s a lot quicker than manually searching on their website!

Still, I will be attending some Ancestry seminars at the Who Do You Think You Are Live! exhibition in London at the end of February, so I hope to be better armed with the skills to make the most of their website.

Exhibition review at a later date ….

The tree pages are currently undergoing an update, so please do not fret if something is inaccessible of looks wrong!
