I never listened much to my mum nor my dad talk about history as a child. I lived quite a distance from any relatives and so what was the need. The older I have got the more I realize that history matters. So every time I get the chance I ask my mum lots about her family. My mother is a wealth of inspiration it was as I was living my own history book and my own heritage was coming alive. Yesterday it got me wow one day someone will look me up and see me and say she was the one who moved to America. Then I felt so proud of all my relatives who had served for my country. I could not believe the wealth of information that I so ignored when I was younger and that I cherish now.
I really encourage you to take the time to look up your family tree. Ask. take notes. make word documents about your history. Your apart of it and that tree is what makes you, you today.

This site is a wealth of information I found it very helpful. Parishes often have there own records. But the best information is often from our living relatives.
Take the time to leave a little history behind.
Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights
There's always room for one more.
