The Incredible Journey………….

May 1, 2022 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 16 Comments

That's it, I have finally made it to the end, this is the last of sixteen blogs telling the life stories of my 2x great-grandparents!  The very fact that Elizabeth McCormack is the very last one, will tell you that Elizabeth's story was maybe a little harder to tell, than some of the others, primarily … Continue reading The Incredible Journey………….

What Will Happen When I Become a Death Certificate?

April 24, 2022 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 22 Comments

It's probably something that we don't really want to think about, our own death, but sadly as we get older there is an inevitability about it, it's that moment when you realise, "hang on a minute, I have lived more years than I have actually got left", that's when you begin to think about the … Continue reading What Will Happen When I Become a Death Certificate?

How it started, How it’s going……….

January 18, 2022January 18, 2022 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 9 Comments

My good friend Kelly Wheaton recently wrote a really thought provoking blog about how she first became interested in researching her family history and the reasons why she started on her family history journey, the link to Kelly's blog can be found here; What Got You Started in Genealogy Kelly also asked her friends to … Continue reading How it started, How it’s going……….

New Year, New Goals

January 3, 2022 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 11 Comments

It feels somewhat strange setting these goals for 2022, whilst we are living with so much uncertainty in our day to day lives, but all I/we can do, is try and maintain a sense of normality, whatever normality is and try to maintain some kind of perspective with life. With that in mind I have … Continue reading New Year, New Goals

My End of Year Report 2021

December 21, 2021January 1, 2022 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 4 Comments

As 2021 has drawn to a close, it's that time of the year to look back and reflect on my genealogy achievements and see how I did, compared to the goals that I set myself at the beginning of the year. Several years ago I completely lost track with my genealogy research and vowed to … Continue reading My End of Year Report 2021

Collect Moments Not Things

December 5, 2021 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 16 Comments

Recently I heard a comment that really resonated with me and made me think about the "value' we put on things and the reasons why we value possessions so much. The comment was about 'collecting moments not things', which when you stop to think about it, goes against all the core principles of being a … Continue reading Collect Moments Not Things

Are you a City Dweller or a Townie?

November 9, 2021 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 12 Comments

If you follow me online, you will have probably seen some recent posts regarding my recent house move. Over the years we haven't been prolific house movers, in fact as a family, this will only be our second move, so we are hardly experts in the whole moving process. This got me thinking about what … Continue reading Are you a City Dweller or a Townie?

Digging Deep to Find My Roots

October 17, 2021 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 6 Comments

We all have that one elusive ancestor on our trees that is difficult to find and for many different reasons, they just don’t want to be found. For as long as I can remember, one of my 2 x Great-Grandparents identities has been unknown to me, the father's name of Marguerite Longland Lukes was 'missing' … Continue reading Digging Deep to Find My Roots

What Makes You Feel Connected?

October 1, 2021October 1, 2021 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 16 Comments

I recently wrote a reply to a question raised on social media by my genealogy buddy Natalie Pithers from Genealogy Stories At the time, like most of the things we write on social media, I wrote exactly what I felt at that moment in time, from the heart, but as I paused and stopped to think … Continue reading What Makes You Feel Connected?

What’s Your Favourite Family Heirloom Part 2

August 29, 2021 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 6 Comments

Never did I imagine when I asked the question, "What's your favourite heirloom?", Just how popular this would be! I have received so many wonderful new photographs and stories about your ancestors' family heirlooms that it would be remiss of me, not to share them all with you! These heirlooms really are as diverse and … Continue reading What’s Your Favourite Family Heirloom Part 2
