Genealogy/family history/whatever-you-choose-to-call-it is a popular pastime these days. I don’t think it was anywhere near as popular when my great-grandmother was asking questions about her ancestry in the early 1920’s. Many people choose to trace their ancestry and make a jolly fine job of it too. However, others put two and two together and make, quite frankly, the most ludicrous connections in the world. You know…. those public member trees on Ancestry that you look at and think: how is that even vaguely possible!? People marrying and having children before they were even born themselves…. Living to the age of 215 …. oh yes!
Not everyone makes such a cobblers of it all of course. But, at what point do you stop doing it yourself and when do you come to Family Wise Limited to ask for our help? Here are a few indicators – though this list is by no means exhaustive:
