Hi Eileen I found my 5th cousin (we share the same 4x great Grandfather) on a Roots web message board. I have 'searched' for some of my ancestors names on the family trees and there is a lady on there who has some of the same names. I've been wondering if this is the lady that my 5th cousin is in contact with. He tells me that she has a lot of wrong info in her tree that was supplied by an alleged professional researcher that she employed, but refuses to change any of it. My cousin gave me this info which I checked against the parish registers and all I can say is that the researcher must have been having hallucinations!lol Jeanette

I have been looking on Roots Web at the Family Trees, as I had hit 'brickwalls' and have found many of my 'names' on there. I just typed in the area where My family lived and they pop up! I know this information needs checking out, but can point you in the right direction, hopefully! Eileen
