Above is a picture of Lincoln Cathedral, symbol of my home town. At the top of the page there are links to 4 of my immediate families, Marshall, Cole, Brooks and Hall. There is also a section for the photogrpahs and a links page that contains useful information on genealogy.
Please drop me an email if you see anything here that 'rings a bell'.
When I started collecting information and speaking to those relatives that were still around and that we were in touch with, I soon realised what I was letting myself in for. Someone said that family history is 'like a snowball' and 'it is a sequence of never-ending questions, you find an answer to one and then this prompts another 3'.
Fortunately, my Dad caught the bug and he too is now helping with the research. Each time he goes back to Lincoln, he calls into the Lincolnshire Archives to do a bit more digging.
It is a very time consuming hobby, but a very rewarding one - anyone thinking of getting started should know that once you start, there will be no stopping. Whatever your reasons for searching for your ancestors, you will always want to go back in time that extra step and who knows what you might uncover...
