I started about 3 years ago. Dad has my great great great Grandfathers (could be another great on there) papers from his apprentiship at 14 on the caledonian railway...start of, right though to to all of his merchant sea papers. It makes for very interesting reading about his travels and his references are fantastic! Both my mums side and my dads side of the family are originally from Scotland, no wonder they wanted to move back there! Dad's side of the family all have the female maiden name as a middle name although it stopped with my dad. All first born sons seem to be named John MacNoughton Pettigrew although Grandad decided to stop this with his sons. Paul and I decided to use my maiden name as one of the middle names for all our children. Paul has done a fair bit of work on his family tree for a number of years and has presented it all in a folder/book.
