Really Dot, 20 minutes?

Do you do it as a hobby or service?

It is easy to do a tree - you need to pay about £150 to access the records - I also did Mimmie Driver's easy once you have a name and date of birth. Thinking of doing it for friends as a hobby.......
What drives me mad is HeirHunters. The insincerity of some heirs who never bothered to go and visit Old Uncle Harry whilst he sat in his nursing home without a visitor for 10 years.....and then they get the money!

it can be easy to do a tree, you never know what you are going to find, with lesley sharpe it would have been difficult because of the adoption anyway.
I'v done gary linacres's father 's line back 4 generations but his mother's side is more interesting with the norfolk ancestry using unusual names. 5 generations back.

DJ - I haven't seen the programme yet but is it right he came from Hinckley and there were Robinsons in his line? I am a Robinson from Hinckley!

[DJHawkes]

I don't recal the name robinson and in the bit i did the other week i found hoare, holmes and hatfield then thorne pratt and leeson, then on his mothers side abbs eggleton hastings queenborough pheonix and stone, his mothers side was from norfolk. i didn't get to the thomas they focused on last night, that may be the robinson connection.

Mr Pratt stole the chickens from Mr T Robinson who was a publican (it was in the newspaper he was reading)....should I ask Gary for my chickens back?!
