I. Tee loves nothing more than shocking unsuspecting folk with the tale that she was abandoned at birth by gypsies and raised en famille with kindly mice in the crypt of an old church.

Alas! The truth is altogether more unremarkable.

The decision to work with a genealogist as you embark on a fascinating journey to uncover the lives of your ancestors can be exciting - but, it can also prove daunting.

But when those long-lost ancestors finally reveal themselves?

I STILL feel a buzz like no other!

"But this is a family matter!"

Words uttered in anger during a fierce family argument in the Spring of 1904 would damn an unrepentant defendant the following year as he stood in the dock of York Crown Court.

Those Ghosts of Christmas Past Await...

I LOVE graveyards!

If I’m not in search of a missing ancestor or trawling through parish records - I will be wandering around a graveyard somewhere.

For those tombstone tourism exploits why not catch @graveyardsquirrel.com scurrying from graveyard to cemetery and then some?

With the thinning of the veil, the eternal lychgate of time and memory awaits and the spirits of the otherworld draw ever nearer with their gifts of ancestral love, strength and wisdom.

Transformation now beckons.

What am I willing to bring into the dark?

Within an old Yorke churchyard - it has been rumoured that a sleuth of infamy bedecked in black and armed with only her wits has been in search of the long forgotten ghosts.

Alas, not for poor Elizabeth maister and her illegitimate daughter as her lover begged the parish wardens for anonymity with the promise of a generous cash settlement in the year 1806.
