Hello, My name is Judith, I do Indexing for Family search as well as Arbitration.Thank you for your interest in my work and my edits and corrections to some records that I have noticed during my Indexing and Arbitration. I usually like to do the UK batches as I have an interest in my heritage. I have managed to create our family tree, initially with the help of Family Search and then combined with Ancestry.com. Family Search provided most of my initial information and it was with this that I have been able to trace our family tree back to about 1100AD (and prior). I think Family Search has the most comprehensive and reliable records. My first interest in our tree was in 1979 when I went to the UK as a young woman, my mother provided me with a very old letter circa early 1800's. This letter lead to my fascination in the past. I have been back to the UK several times to study records, churches, monuments and graves and houses which has provided more information for our tree. My latest trip found me in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, looking at the monuments to my ancestors, an incredible feeling to see the faces of the long gone.

My ancestors (luckily for me) were very prominent people in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, and those had descended from the nobles of UK and Europe. In these cases the records of their lives were dedicatedly logged by scribes from the earliest times. I have been able to go beyond 1100ad but I am looking for records to support my findings. This is the reason I have become so involved in the Indexing and Arbitration process, I am dedicated to transcribing the records correctly and making the right matches so that I and anyone else who wishes to find out where they are from can do so. I like the new Family Search wiki, I think the contributors have a wealth of knowledge and I hope I can be of some assistance to them in the future. I am also hoping you may be able to provide me with help from time to time if I have questions regarding the olde english scripts.

I am very pleased to be included as a wiki contributor, thank you so much.

kind regards

Judith
