Welcome to Family Roots<\/p>\n

Whether you are an old hand or just starting out we hope you find something of interest on our site.<\/p>\n

Genealogy is a fascinating, but sometimes frustrating pastime, but you may just find the name that has eluded you for ages here.<\/p>\n

If you are just starting out and are young enough to still have grandparents that you can talk to please do so as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Ask your family about their early lives, make up a questionnaire so you can ask the right questions.<\/p>\n

This is useful if you don’t see aunts, uncles or cousins very often.<\/p>\n

You will kick yourself if after a visit to a relative, living a distance away, you forget to ask the right questions.<\/p>\n

The more information you can collect now could save you hours in the future.<\/b><\/p>\n

Join us<\/strong> to discover more about your family history.
