I cut and pasted his name from the Prison Register entry, I doubt Robert could write this well if at all!

I've heard about this scenario before, poor women left struggling bringing up their families while a new family is created elsewhere! I can't wait to see what my DNA results turn up!

Love that, mainly because I love the Irish!

Turns out this handsome chap is my Grandfather; I knew by his mouth that the guy was family as my Dad looks like him! He was 71 when I was born and I only remember him when he was late seventies so I have no memory of his good looks! It's great what you find out about ancestors once you start...

I just found out tonight that this is in fact my grandfather James Campbell; he definitely was a handsome devil in his younger days, by the time I arrived on the scene he was 71 so I only remember him as an old man and not a Tommy Shelby look a like LOL! Apparently his brother Robert used to...

This makes me smile as I think of summer! Lovely colours and beautiful imagery!

How lovely!

This is quite exquisite, you have such an elegant touch with your designs; beautiful page!

Wonderful heritage page and I love the explanation about names! I came across the name Nancy doing my family research into my GG Grandmother but as has been mentioned it was as a derivative of Agnes ; fascinating where names originate!

Wow that was some journey! Love the contrast between the colourful palm tree and the snowy landscape; the staircase makes a striking design on the page separating the two locales!

Lovely page and the soft tones of the background complement the picture perfectly!

Oh this is beautiful Nancy! I’m loving your heritage pages about Aunt Nancy and the roses are the perfect touch invoking the feel of that generation!

I absolutely adore this photograph and the scale of it on the page with the smaller colour photos! Fabulous page!

Such sweet photos and I love all the little snowflakes and lace embellishments! Beautiful!

This is amazing! What a precious photograph to possess of your Aunts and you have scrapped it so elegantly! LOVE it!

I need to step away from Genealogy sites IMMEDIATELY!! I'm becoming obsessed with tracking ancestors like some demented stalker! This isn't my Great Great Grandfather from the 1800s because I doubt if there is a picture of him anywhere - not even a mugshot from his 40 days in prison for horse...

Keeping it simple for this one... Another old family photograph. Basically just layered everything, erasing part of the photograph and frame to make it look as if the photo is tucked underneath the torn paper. I also extracted a couple of leaves from the kit's artsy paper to make a couple of...

I think the secret is to step back from researching family every so often...my Dad's family gives me a major headache; they obviously had no imagination and called everyone the same name...

I can spend hours, get lost downloading stuff from Scotland's People website and then wonder if I'm on the right track...

Most of my pages involve a great deal of faffing! ;)
