Hi Guys and of course our lady members.
The ferret has been tied up pretty well lately what with the passing of my father inlaw and a few other issues, old Norm was the top Massey Ferguson mechanic on the planet, bar none, he taught me so much about engines.
On another scope, I have been researching my family tree, Wow, convicts and all, hence my lack of input to the mighty nissan patrol forum, but all is not lost, I log in every day and check on what's new.
So I haven't given the forum the "bums rush" so to speak.
Ya, know, there is so much info about your ancestors at the click of a button, I joined ancestry.com for two months and have built a tree back to the 1700s, amazing, they do most of the work for you.
I found out I may inherit a castle in Scotland, seems I have Mcleod blood, now that would call for a decent Pi ssup eh,
Are there any "Reads" or "Dobbins" out there as members?, I would be very interested.
Tomorrow will be back to normal, making tyre deflators and other stuff for the discerning 4byer.
Cheers, the ferret.

I'm a real mean pri ck when it comes down to these types of sites, but, I spat the dummy and joined as I wanted to know and go back 300 years.
What I found was that once you start, they bring up hints and you can check them out, there are also possibly other people searching the same family, you get to look at that and can even email them.
It is truly amazing and well worth the money, about $25 a month but you can cancel anytime.
You can see the original birth or death or marriage certificate 300 years ago, print it or what ever.
What have you got to lose, $25?
We even have a shield, lol Mc Leod Clan. Ha ha, cop that!!!

Sorry to hear of the loss mate, it often sparks interest into geneology.

Congrats on the history search, 1700 is a fair effort!!

I spent a year tracing family history. Online, family papers, old letter etc. Can trace my lines back to 1276. With almost all of the sons and daughters of each marriage and even some remarriages. It was a project of mine when I was between jobs a number of years ago. With some hand written letters and post cards from the mid 1800's it really gives the search some meaning and depth.

Keep searching, find the next missing link, good luck!!
