Monkeys Fist 38911 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Been doing my family history for a bit now. Uncovered some interesting stuff, tragic stuff, unearthed a few skeletons in the closet, but today I found out something truly horrific. A great uncle ( by marriage) played for the mackems in 1919-1920. I wish I'd never started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncovered some interesting stuff, tragic stuff, unearthed a few skeletons in the closet, but today I found out something truly horrific. A great uncle ( by marriage) played for the mackems in 1919-1920. I wish I'd never started. How'd you go about doing that? Always been interested in it. First step is to get as much information as you can about your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. You want names, including maiden names, birth and dates, siblings, children , what they did for a living, where they lived etc. Get as much as you can by quizzing your parents and grandparents if they are still around. Then you can take a number of options- the most time consuming option is to visit the record offices where your ancestors lived. If you've any miners in your family, Durham Mining Museum and Woodhorn have good sites where you can get info. The other option is to join a genealogy site. I'm on ancestry.co.uk. You can search census pages, military records, birth death and marriage registers etc, make your tree and link with other people researching common ancestors. The most recent full census records available is currently the 1911 one , and all previous ones. This is why you need as much info as you can initially, to get you back that far. Birth death and marriage registers are available from 2006 and before. Ancestry.co.uk. offer a 14 day free trial, which gives you full access. http://www.ancestry.co.uk/default.aspx?o_iid=41025&o_lid=41025&o_sch=Web+Property Have a crack at it, let me know how you get on and I'll give you any help I can.

The Fish 9033 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 My parents are well into all of that. Can't get excited about it, no matter how enthused they are as they tell me how some distant ancestor was at some battle I've never heard of.

The upside is that he only played for them twice, no goals, from what little info I can gather. Strangely though, he was on a set of 24 signed postcards of mackem players that was up for auction recently at Bonhams. Goes without saying that nee fucker bought them. He was called John Haggan btw.

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) A day off from work - taking my 5 month old dachshound pup for a small trip into the woods - what could possibly go wrong!?!? Quite alot, it would seem - the bloody thing took off and was spotted 10 miles from my location after a few hours, ended up with me spending the better part of the evening walking 15 miles on foot blowing the little whistle i got from the breeder. At around midnight the little shit comes running in my backtracks... my balls are freezing and Im sporting a cold.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hopefully looking for someone whose done a bit of bar work..... When we got the kitchen done last year we had one of those wine coolers fitted under one of the benches...I know, I know. Anyway, we very rarely drink wine in the house so I have now taken it over as a lager cooler. It allows you to set the temperature so I was wondering what temperature the pubs etc usually have these things set at. I know, I know again Any advice greatly appreciated.
