Who do you think you are?

I’ve been a bit off radar recently because I’ve been climbing my family tree and to be honest I’m a bit stuck up in one of the branches. I’ve joined genesreunited and am trying to hack back and find my ancestors. There’s been no pots of gold yet, no royal blood or notorious criminas (not strictly true but I’m keeping schtum) but I daresay it’s just a matter of time.
And it really is ‘time’. To track people you need to look at the Census reports which were taken every ten years. The 1911 one has just been released and us geneologists have been at it like frenzied piranhas.
My Grandfather Bertie Burnham (what a fab name) managed to marry, have three kids and move to the next street in a decade and it made me wonder how much I have done since 1999......not a huge amount.
What’s great about all this ‘who do you think you are’ stuff is that lots of people have already done the hard work, as I’ve come a bit late to the party great swathes of my tree have been completed so I can just copy and paste – it’s a virtual bloody leylandii.
