I'd like to pass on information about a genealogy service which is easy & free. It may help you a great deal if you are researching your own family. Lost Cousins is the name - why not go & have a look?
It works by asking you to enter details of the census pages (e.g. the 1881 census of England & Wales) on which your ancestor appears. Anyone who matches with you will be brought to your attention, so you can share research.
Currently LostCousins can only help people who had relatives (not necessarily direct ancestors) living in the US, Britain or Canada in 1880-81, or in England & Wales in 1841.
Also, latest additions are the 1911 census of Ireland, and of England.
View the excellent free newsletter here.
It is free to join Lost Cousins, and seems to be a very good idea.
Another way of matching up with other researchers is Genes Reunited (small fee), and an interesting one which matches up folk looking at the same geographical area is Ancestral Atlas. Do let me know if you give them a go - what do you think?

Morrocan Family Tree
A forum for sharing family history on Hallworths, Tuthills, Cox and Boltons. Welcome!
Got any spare cash?
Then perhaps you might like to help our Neil to raise money for Save the Children.
Neil achieved a fantastic 100-mile sponsored Cycle for The Christie, a cancer charity in Manchester last year.
But this year he is going on to even greater things - cycling from London to Paris, this time raising funds for Save the Children.
Here's the Online giving page - all very easy (unlike riding 270 miles in 3 and a half days)!

Hallworth Family Branch
May 2010 - I had so much new material to add to the Hallworth pages that I had to rewrite almost every post.
(Old links will fail for a wee while.)
Latest: new photos added to the post about the Dog & Badger.
Begin to read the whole story from the Hallworth Beginnings, here. Please excuse any teething problems, let me know if you find a problem & I can sort it out over the coming weeks. Lisa

Sir Alexander Gray
This is my country,
The land that begat me,
These windy spaces
Are surely my own.
And those who toil here
In the sweat of their faces
Are flesh of my flesh
And bone of my bone.

Here are some Family tree Diagrams which you may find helpful - sometimes you just need to see it, eh?
As the text is much easier to edit than these trees, generally that information is more up-to-date.
If you've got a picture or piece of information you'd like to see here, then just pass it on!

Trunk Calls
I aim to omit from my posts any material which would annoy any person. To this end, I have two rules. No email addresses will be shown & no unnecessary details about any living persons will be shown.
If you feel I have breached these, make a comment and I will deal with it forthwith (all posts can be edited).
This is a forum to share family history within the family. Please feel free to enter your comments and memories, also any corrections or clues for further research. I'd be very grateful!
