Its me again - I would never have imagined there are so many Atkinsons. I am still looking for my paternal Grandad and family - but have had no responses to my emails of people who may be able to help me. I find it all so frustrating and not sure where I go from here.

Hi Victoria - I have emailed them all again - one of the people had all my maternal great aunts and uncles in his tree - the other lady seemed to have the Atkinson family in hers - I have asked if I can look at their trees and to no avail. Am really disappointed.

Why dont you research your own Family tree?

It's much more fun than relying on what others have found and you never know....they might have made mistakes!

Give it a go and I bet you enjoy it...

I have researched my own family tree - on my Mothers side I have got to me great great great Grand Father. One of my emails was to someone who seemed to share that family tree. On my Fathers side I am stuck with my Dad's Family. I dont know much about them and I thought I had found a member who could help - she just hasn't replied. I have looked on Census, BDM records but without much information I feel I am at a loss. I was so excited when I thought I had found a member of that family. Yes it is fun and very exciting. It is also frustrating when people are on the site and dont bother to email back to you.
