Hi Laura and thanks for sharing your great news. I'm a fairly new member and am lucky in that my mum has a few family certificates which have enabled me to get started. Having found out more family information over recent weeks though, I now need to order some certificates for myself and am seriously mulling over which ones to order first. I want them all at once, but know I shall have to be patient!! Good luck with your continued research, from Beryl x

Beryl Sorry to break in on a girlie chat. My advice is - don't get carried away. Work backwards from solid facts and assume nothing. And especially, if you get OneWorldTree or IGI matches, be very suspicious of Submitted entries. Members of the LDS Church (Mormons) list their ancestors for religious reasons and aren't too fussy about proven connections. John
