Happygolucky4u: I tried google and came up with several meanings too. But I like that one too. As long as it means something good. Thank you also and that is one of the meanings I had found. Do you know where kettleby is?
There is a site if googling that has old maps of the UK from various time zones -
Ab Kettleby is a village and civil parish within the Melton district of Leicestershire, England. It is 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Melton Mowbray, along the A606 road, and has a population of 501.
Ab Kettleby is in north Leicestershire, not far from the town of Melton Mowbray and three miles from the border with Nottinghamshire. Situated 460 feet (140 m) above sea level it lies close to the neighbouring hamlets of Wartnaby and Holwell that form part of the civil parish of Ab Kettleby.

I was wondering about the population. But it is five hundred and one so my kind of place 
I love small areas I like to visit the city but I prefer small areas. I wonder if anyone there would be a ancestor of mine

Happygolucky4u: I have been tracing my family history on my fathers side. And I am curious has anyone else traced theirs? I have been able to trace mine to 1515 Kettleby England. I cannot seem to get any further back. But of course I will continue to try. And I have seen a picture of my ancestors coat of arms that was established in 1619. If you have done this how far back did you get? I googled to see if Kettleby is still in existence and it is. On my coat of arms it says "Pietas Nunquam Mor Moritur" does anyone know what that means? Gosh I am just full of questions today. Thank you for taking the time to reading this

Try contacting council - to find out the names of the cementaries there - Mansfield in Notts helped me so much when I was doing my family history - and they really bent over backwards because I was living overseas. There are a lot of sites online that are also very useful including a genealogy site - they were fantastic in the forum help section... also look at the workhouses in your district - some still retain some records, I believe when the workhouses closed some destroyed the records for one reason or another..

Just a quick thought on this..... Have any of you approached the Mormon church for help with tracing ancestors? The reason I mention this is a few years ago I used to work for a company that built microfilm cameras. At the time it was said that the Mormon church was the biggest microfilming outfit in the world! They used to (may still do!) have people in all the public record offices around the world just filming birth, death and marriage records. They have a huge ancestry database. I am not sure what the charge would be on this, also not sure why they did it! 
If I recall, the camera of choice for the Mormons were old Kodak model 8 field cameras (just in case anyone is interested!!)

I have heard that about the mormons. And I cannot remember why they are doing that either. If I recall, the camera of choice for the Mormons were old Kodak model 8 field cameras (just in case anyone is interested!!)
Actually I would like to trace my mothers family and I seem to not be able to get any info it is like they never existed Maybe that is something I can check into. Since I have gotten back to the year 1515 with my fathers family I have been looking up information and reading about them. There has been quite a bit of info on the web available. On this one web site I think it is the fourteenth picture down is a wall carving of one
of my ancestors and his wife. They look real tall
I could go on and on but I am sure if you have made it this far reading this I have done good so I will leave it at this

I personally accessing info is not easy - particularly when dealing with parish records - and family members have used the same names and the kids are born around the same time - and unfortunetly some of the records have been lost & or destroyed - there is volumne that I require and it's non existant - and that would piece together the beginnings of this one family -
Records are good if they are available...

It seems that anything prior to the year 1000 is extremely difficult to find. My family has traced (authentically) to about 1060, but no further. You might try the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints Archives in Salt Lake City--you need not be a member to get accommodated. According to several of my family historians, this is about the best that can be found in the U.S. In England, the larger universities may have archived family trees. Monasteries had, and may still maintain, vast libraries of hand written family trees. This is a fascinating pastime, however, navigating it is like a toy sailboat on the Atlantic--good luck.------ This thread is Archived ------

Thank you so much for your suggestion. And you are so right it is like navigating a toy boat in the Atlantic. I am learning more deeply about things I have only read about. I also have been able to add information to the tree. Like a Great Aunt they knew little about. I happen to of met her and could fill in a little more than just her first and last name. Thank you again------ This thread is Archived ------
