Hi my name is Dawn and have been researching my family history for about 2years now. I am English and moved to the USA 4 years ago so this is not so easy for me - Oh how I wish I could just get on a train to do some research !:) Anyway probably like a lot of people here I have hit many snags, some solvable and some still family mysteries to be solved! The names I am interested in are mainly King, Gibson, Brann, Elliott, Doming, Aldridge and Lawrence. These are my side of the family (I will get to my husbands later) My family are mainly from the Hertfordshire, London, Kent and Bedfordshire areas. I am particularly interested in Tenterden, Kent and St Albans, Herts.

I look forward to any helpful tips and hints and if I can be of help to anyone with an interest in North Carolina please feel free to contact me. I have also a full worldwide membership to Ancestry and also Findmypast so any look ups are welcome.

Hello Dawn and welcome to Brit-Gen |wave|

As I mentioned in answer to your earlier post, one branch of my family came from Tenterden, Kent. However, the spooky thing is that I was born and dragged up in St Albans! :eek: I still live local to the area, so let me know if you need any "on the ground" research done.

Enjoy the forum!
