"So I’m currently doing my family history and am looking for people in the Liverpool and Durham / Cleveland areas, does anyone know of any good online resources other than ancestry that can help me do long distance research without having to visit these places? Anyone tried tracing their family tree? " A lot of genealogical research can be done via the net; the 1921 census has recently come online. | |||

"Find My Past is the main one I've heard about. I've dabbled. Ancestry probably is the best. Traced one very narrow line back to the 14th century. Others I lose in the 19th. From all over England and Ireland, mostly." Yeh ancestry is the way I’m going, some lines go to the US, Germany, mainly Ireland and the U.K. | |||

Definitely difficulty depending on where you're looking. (Fortunately for me British penal records are meticulous ) | |||

"If you find a genealogy forum with keen locals, you sometimes get kind people who are willing to go in person and find stuff for you. I had somebody in Leicestershire go and find a coroner’s report in an old local newspaper for me . I want to say it was Roots Chat but I don’t remember exactly now " That’s a good suggestion, wouldn’t have thought of that, thanks | |||

"Try: ukga.org Read in a magazine recently: familysearch.org - looks like you have to create a free account. Don't know if this is helpful? You could try uk genealogy in your search engine. That's brought up a few results. " Cheers for the suggestions | |||

"A lot of UK counties have their own online registers, which will detail some information, births, deaths etc. most you can search for free, view base information, then pay a small fee to view the record and/or transcript. Tip though, the further you go back the more random the names can be spelt, as relying on the writer of the information to understand an accent and write down what they think they heard. " I agree with the last bit very much! I think my surname (as it's Gaelic), is a mis-spelling. So, it's highly likely that, that was the case. | |||

" Could be but more than likely most couldn’t read and write then, so those giving the information have no idea what has been recorded. Church books can be interesting when the vicar/padre decide to add their own character comments | |||
