Position:Home>Genealogy> My Ancestry is Hell?Question: My Ancestry is Hell?I am 100% (as far as I have been able to tell) Irish. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: hey, Eddie... Probably more people than you can imagine, run into the same questions you have. Life today is (tactfully) NOT as peaches and cream as we want to think.. and it really never was. There are many records in early VA for folks running around making babies without benefit of ministers or even living together. As for what is online.. every one wants it easy. What people don't get, is that easy does not mean quality or reliable. You don't want to hear my vent on that one. <grin> I agree with Skip.. your conclusion about being Irish is shaky, unless both parents, grandparents, etc were ALL born in Ireland, including you. So here is Wendy's disclaimer for the evening: I don't want the easy stuff that can be punched up on the computer, and point to the knights and damsels. BORING. If someone already did all my research, there ain't no fun left for me, no satisfaction in finding a record that no one else knew about. I am sending you to www.cyndislist.com.... and look for one of the beginner tutorials, so you can find some of the steps. Browse around. Hey, there even is one list called Blacksheep ancestors. You don't get to join unless you have someone really slimy to claim. So, if you really want to learn who YOU are (without judgement, and being proud of you), check it out. And you can reach me via my profile, if I can help more. |
