It was on here Jackie so it must have been
The Adventures of B it went forever in Sydney even though it was quite dated by the time I ever heard it.It is a classic of boy's fiction.

It is so quiet on here lately can't even find any tree matches anymore.You wouldn't believe what I found on another site. A record of a marriage in Liverpool in 1837 the couple weren't relations but the witnesses were my Great Grandfather's parents before they were married.

wow that's great Daff.
I agree it's gone real quiet. There only seems to be us two with an occasional drop in from Shimms. I wonder if poeple are getting tired of it or are they just too busy.
I am afraid I have lost interest in my Genealogy at the moment. Will get back to it sometime. I was a member of Ancestry.com but my membership ran out and because it is so expensive and I wasn;t doing much I decided not to renew. I'll get back to it at some stage when I am in the mood.

Can you find a lot on there?. I got most of mine off Ancestry. But I really need the patience to study it all and at the moment haven't got that.

It's basically a search engine that brings up sites containing the name you put in, most are free, some you have to pay for some not all of the info they contain. I spend hours on there when I visit and it turns up obscure things like the one I mentioned and newspaper articles and stuff you won't find elsewhere.The downside is a lot is American but if you are patient you can find real little gems.You choose which of the items to visit so you need not pay unless you choose to visit a site and they are marked as totally free or part free or whatever.
