Preview:I was always disappointed that my grandmother's family hit one of those 'brick walls' that you can't seem to get round or through. It left a short, though respectable branch on the family tree; it reached back to a Henry TESTER of hitherto unknown origin, who was father to my ancestor born in 1817 in Kent, and stopped there. I have spent a lot of time (40 years) trying to crack this one with persistence (admittedly, on and very off). Last year I managed it, and it has unlocked a lot more than just finding when and where Henry was born.
