Just a little post really. Was trying to follow through all the main descendants of the first noted individuals of various names in my tree, so chasing up the children and grandchildren of the brothers and sisters of my direct ancestors etc. I found one unmarried female child of a first noted direct pair (does that make sense?) living with an aunt. Now up until this point I hadn't been able to get to the parents of said first pair, and so having another potential sibling name to follow was a boon. I did eventually manage put all the bits together and was able to find the parents of the female of the pair, and so extend my tree by another generation. It also provided some corroborating evidence for what had until then seemed like a very odd geographical leap.
So tedious it may be, 'name collecting' it might be, but useful? Oh yes! Any other similar tales or breakthroughs out there?
