One of the things I've discovered whilst researching my family history is that the person sat opposite you at work could be a relative or that your boss could be your cousin!
Both of these have happened to me, or more accurately, to members of my family. I discovered that a distant cousin had my younger brother for his boss and, more recently, that one of my wife's colleagues also has a connection to my tree, albeit very tenuous! It was quite lucky for her though, as the line which connected us goes all the way back to 1580!
Its a small world and getting smaller!

Where to Begin?
That is the question!
I have been doing my own family tree for several years now. It tends to go in bursts where you find one little piece of information which leads to much more and then comes to a dead-end, almost literally in some cases!
I have found black sheep and semi-famous family members on both sides of my family and would be happy to share information researching the same lines.
My Staton line is currently stuck around the late 18th century, where birth and death dates become quite ambiguous!
HELP!
