First steps

My introduction to genealogy was an email, from a New Zealand first cousin twice removed. She 'introduced' me to my long forgotten grandfather Thomas Burgess TINGAY (born November 12, 1879 in Wereham, Norfolk, England), and her questions ignited my interest.

I really knew nothing about Thomas Burgess TINGAY, except that he was my grandfather who died in the Great War. Also - from a family tree copied from my father's always difficult to read writing - I thought that he had been born in Witcham, Cambridgeshire.

These were early days!
