I'm Canadian, with English and Irish ancestors. I'm constantly trying google searches and websites, since I don't have access to actual record offices......Last night I 'revisited' websites that I've searched in the past......I found new information which MAY link my Wakefields to those in Ireland!.....My tip: search sites again -- you may find new information!

That goes with one that gets mentioned from time to time... Look back at old notes. I'd received a chunk of info from a sort-of cousin-in-law of my father's. From that I'd worked out a likely surname for a bride in the family (since the cousin had given me a first name). Looking back at a May 2004 e-mail about that name, but a more remote part of the family, I spotted the same surname. I bit of digging and it's pretty clear that my father's uncle married his cousin.
