Hi there!
Welcome to my web page who`s main function is to share my Family History and 
hopefully find new cousins and friends along the way. The most direct ancestors 
and relatives are included here but there are many more links in my file in 
Gencircles, click on the link below.

I began my quest one day when my Mum came home from work having been reading a 
plaque on the wall at a nursing home once owned by Alfred HOLT, a well known 
ship builder in Liverpool who set up the Blue Funnel Line `China Boats`. She 
said her mum told her once `they`, meaning the EDMONDSON family were related to 
them.
I promptly set off to prove this by spending 18 months searching for this 
EDMONDSON/HOLT marriage that would answer all our questions. What I did produce 
was lots of notes on the HOLT family and some idea of the fact that HOLT and 
EDMONDSON were interlinked quite often in Lancashire in the 1800`s but I never 
did find my connection.

I also became completely hooked and was determined to find at least something 
interesting about our family. It was also around the same time that Mum`s twin 
sister died and Mum felt she had lost all connections with her family so I was 
determined to find a relative to show her there were people out there. 

That was almost 10 years ago and I`m still at it!  It`s a fascinating hobby and 
if you are just starting off I can assure you that fellow genealogists and 
family historians can be one of the most friendliest and helpful groups of 
people you`ll come across.

Enough of the waffle though, please feel free to browse, comment (constructive 
critism only please?, link up, ask questions, whatever and if I can help I will.
There are several photographs included here, under unknown persons, they were 
all donated in a folder of family photographs by a cousin, if you think you can 
recognise any of them or just help to date them, please, please contact me. I`d 
be happy to supply you with a better copy privately.

Happy Hunting to you!

Sue.
