But well worth it - Im in the process of trying to put names to people in old family photos from the 1900's, not easy as my Grandad who did know who many of them were passed away over 10 years ago.

Hi Jacque. Maybe you could join a local family history society. You might get ideas of other places to look from the members there. Good luck. Let us know when you find something out.

Good luck in your search. I've been trying to research my husbands family for ages, but I have managed to get so far back but cannot find anything earlier as they came across from Ireland during the potato famine but cannot find any records for that time. It's very interesting though.
