Hi I'm Lee,

I'm 32 and live in the Wiltshire, UK with my girlfriend 2 cats, 2 rabbits and many fishies.

I have been researching my family tree on an off for about 15 years but never really got any further than word of mouth that was until I left the Armed Forces in 2000. Then I could dedicate more time to my research and started looking on the internet and linking up with other researchers and have managed to find 3 cousins so far 2 in Derby, UK and 1 in the US.

Luckily for me my relative in the US had lots of research done by her mother so after lots of sharing I realised that my research had only just tipped the iceberg, then another relative contacted me and completed another section of decendants from my GG Grandfather.

So far I have managed to compile my family tree using a program called 'Generations', yes I know an old program but I have yet to find a program that is as easy to use. Since I work in the IT industry I also dabbled with creating my own website (albeit a little basic) which you can view here http://uk.geocities.com/lacalladine/familytree/

I am primarily researching my Mother's and Father's surnames, Bradley and Calladine respectively, but am always glad to hear from distant relatives no matter how distant.

I hope to hear from many of you and hope I can help you and you be of help to me.

Good luck!

Lee Calladine
