I began my family history research in 2011 by becoming a member of an online family tree builder and soon became hooked. Unfortunately my early naivety led me to taking the easy route of cribbing from the numerous trees that came my way. I then got to a point when I nearly scrapped the lot but instead began another tree on a different website provider and cautiously began again. I kept my membership and tree going on the original site but only to tease out possible connections. I have to say that the overwhelming majority of like minded researchers were extremely helpful in exchanging information but when push came to shove had to admit that like me had themselves been guilty of cribbing in some cases.
I think it fair to say that my family name GRATWICKE is a reasonably uncommon one and as such should lend itself to easier research than some. I can now confidently state that the GRATWICKE's only ever populated the county of SUSSEX - again should make for easier tracing. My research first took me to the beautiful churches at Itchingfield and West Grinstead.
