I started doing my "Family Tree" ,via Genes Reunited,about 3 years ago,and was able to discover many things about my real mother,whom I didn't meet until I was 50 ! Even then,she couldn't tell me much,as she didn't know herself ; for example,she thought that she was born in Swindon,when in fact ( I later discovered) it was Fulham !
                I had masses of help from a gentleman who also had,like me, links to the Eke family of East Dereham,and other nearby villages,in Norfolk, and we discovered that we shared a great-grandmother !! I only recently discovered that he is actually "WILL FLY "(see post above !!) so he came to visit recently and played at Marlow Bottom Folk Club !!!
             "Wild Flying Dove" is a very keen genealogist,and is a member of the "Guild Of One Name Studies" ---We recently had a day out at the National Archives in Kew.....Fantastic ,can't wait to go back. Sadly,all my ancestors turned out to be ordinary and boring,like me!Mainly agricultural labourers, inn-keepers,cord wanglers,that sort of thing,although there are one or two pilots ( ship's pilots,that is) and ,inevitably,some bastards.
