In a country such as Oz you can be called all manner of names, bloody pom, bloody pommy b*********** that ones shows you have been accepted by the locals.
Bloody mongrel, a term of endearment for many, but of abuse when referring to a poli or maybe the judge.

#20 He”ll have Shetland Islander , Viking and coming from Shields a possible touch of the tar brush Des. Watch he doesn’t fall back on his Voodoo and start practising casting a few spells. He would in which case vote Yes in our upcoming vote that the little new fat PM is forcing on us. Would see it as getting his 3/9d. Back by posing as someone else. A long way of going about it as hopefully I don’t pay tax anymore , although have my doubts the way this bloke in power hopes to spend it. Cheers JS

Looking into the history of Liverpool it was the Welsh who built the city. Bricks, slates etc. came from Wales and the men and women followed. When they arrived in Liverpool they had to report to the Welsh religious ministers who would vet them and arrange jobs with the building companies. An Irishman would only be employed if a Welshman could not be found.
All the wastelands around the docks area's were transformed into row after row of streets of terraced houses and given Welsh names.
Tracing the census records show how many families were crammed into 2 up 2 down houses often with lodgers too, no bathroom or indoor toilet. A hard life for our ancestors especially for the women.

Still as far as I know people still living the same in the NE . There certainly was during my younger years . The first house I bought was 2 up and 2 down and was considered modern. We of course had an indoor toilet. Cost 2,450 pounds . You were only allowed a mortgage where the repayments did not exceed one third of your salary. Cheers JS

I will have to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the DNA results to come back.

Louis, You should have placed an ad in the newspaper saying you had won the lottery, faster results me thinks

Marian when using Ancestry search how do I change details in family tree? Some family members are in the the wrong place on the tree, an example of this is my grandmother is shown as my mother. Thanks

[Marian Gray]

Hi Louis, Simply delete then re-enter their details.

If on the other hand you have a huge amount of data on them then if it were me and as a precaution I would copy & paste their info to your email address. Then again delete and re-enter each one separately. Their specific branches will automatically adjust accordingly. Mistakes like this can and do happen when a connection is suggested via Ancestry especially if your kin has a namesake, extra caution should prevail before clicking yes to their hint.

I recall when I first joined Ancestry many moons ago it stated if deleting someone you may not be able to retrieve them which always made me wary. For that reason I did not tackle a whopper of a mistake on mine for a long time. However decided eventually to do so having retained the correct info aside but only because I got myself in a swivel-eyed tizzy doing it manually therefore deleted said rellie and his fourteen off spring then re-entered..it was fine.

Just to be doubly sure I removed one of my sisters a few moments ago.....now she is back where she belongs in her usual position.......very much alive and kicking.

My wife and I both have family trees on ancestry. Pretty sure if you pull up a family member there is an edit feature you can use to correct any wrong information.
Both of us have done a ancestry DNA test and found Welsh, Scottish, English genes in addition to Scandinavian , danish and Norwegian genes.
Just go to show what a mixed race bunch we all are.
