Default A Cocktail of Genes

I've often thought about attempting to trace my family tree, could prove interesting. I have a certain amount of information to work with but it would most probably take forever and possibly prove to be extremely expensive.
My Parents/Grandparents and Great Grandparents hail from Cornwall, Somerset, Germany, Denmark and South Africa, and heaven only knows where from before that!

Always remember Sarah that there are a lot of people doing this sort of thing now. I got badly stuck once so I just typed in the name and the county and found that somebody had posted the same section of my tree on-line and had found the link I was looking for and the fact that a distant relative once owned a brewery. Probably best if you don't try Jones for Cardiff though.
