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.
