I've been researching my family history for 8 years now and it's about time I shared some of my findings.
My father's family come mostly from the North East of England (surnames Hudson, Lamb, Kerss, Pattison, Todner). Mum's father's family come from Birmingham, England (Darby, Pugh, Read) and Mum's mother's from mid-Wales (Pugh, Hughes, Jones).

On This Day ... 9 March
1798 John Wren died in Wolsingham, Co Durham, England. He was only 10 years old.
1802 William Haddock married Mary Hudson at St Michael's Church, Bishopwearmouth, Co Durham.
I've got six thousand "cousins" in my database (some very distant) so there's a few births/deaths or marriages happening every day. I'm using Legacy which gives me the list. John Wren is my third cousin five times removed; Mary Hudson is my first cousin once removed; and James Hudson is my great-uncle.
How do you manage to find something for each day like that.
