I began my involvement in the family tree by (foolishly?) offering to proofread my brother's manuscript, and got hooked, helping him fill in dozens of names and dates so far. Our Hill family came to Canada from Bridgwater, and on a longshot, I found a distant cousin also in Canada with lots of photos etc. but no idea of how it all connected. I had the info. (certificates, charts etc.) but no photos. What a great find for both of us. All based on taking a chance that "those" Hills were "our" Hills. Also, we found Australian cousins too (they actually found us by responding to a query board message of mine). All that's left is to track down those elusive Hills of Bridgwater who stayed put in England, wherever they are! But it was great to knock down at least a few bricks in the wall. It's true, you just never know what you will find unless you try.
