Julia's DNA test has really got us going again on the family history.
Some time ago at the Knitting and Stitching show in Birmingham we happened to talk to the people on the stand of the Nuneaton and North Warwickshire Family History Society. (www.nnwfhs.org.uk) Nothing to do with our family connections and nothing to do with knitting or stitching either. But there you go.
We bought from them what has proved to be a most useful publication - The Ultimate Portable Family History Record Book. This is the most useful layout for a family tree that I've ever come across, and I really recommend it. I've added in all the ancestors we know about, and now we can set about filling in all the gaps.

Ancestry DNA
Well this has been an interesting day.
Julia decided to have an Ancestry DNA test and today we looked at the results. We didn't find any near relatives we didn't know about, so we ploughed through about half of the not so near ones and found some useful clues for our research.
Oddly someone (with whom with have a 4th cousin DNA match) had added about 200 photographs to the Hamilton family tree. Julia has messaged this person find out more. We have now been in contact and she has told us something of her family. So we are now on the hunt to find out how we are related.
