almostgood asked: Hey there,
So i'm actually going to England this summer (I have tons of ancestral roots there). And I was wondering if you had any tips? I mean, logic tells me to go to those locations. And some of them were quite prominent so I know of some points of interest. Anything else that might be good to know?Try visiting the local parish (church) in the towns and villages in which your ancestors lived. Ask to see the parish registers. Some of them go back 500 years or more. If you go there knowing the names of some more recent relatives, you can possibly use the parish registers in their hometowns to take your family back dozens of generations.
