Noticed that there have been some discussion about this on here. Are there are helpful web sites for this? Can you do a search for information on line or do you have to go direct to records offices etc.

A member of my family is doing a family tree so if anyone can advise it would be appreciated.

Try the 'Genealogy' category in the 'Older Category' section Lynda. Haven't looked myself, but there was a fair bit of input from Galaxy and others when it was active a while back.

Lynda - I would recommend contacting Galaxy for advice how to proceed. She has done a lot of work on her FT.

i think mine'd be quite a challenge. For starters:

Father - birthplace: Berlin
Mother - birthplace: Tel Aviv
Father's father : Rogowo (Poland)
Father's mother : Torun (Poland)
Mother's father : Russia
Mother's mother : Vienna.

Oh yeah - me: Fenham.
