2006 was the  year I retired, bought a campervan and decided to find the ancestors located all over the UK...I had already  traveled around the southwest region of England searching for the ancestors for several years but this was still the early days of discovery in many ways....AS I write this introduction it is now 2022 --quite a few years of exploration and discovery since 2006 and loads more data and information collected, saved and stored...Back in 2006 I was using a hand-held cassette tape recorder and created basic videos  using audi-pod and photos.Audio pods were not even given that name back in 2006 so I started a trend--now in 2022 they are really used and created--a common media but back in 2006 the equipment used by  people like me was very basic so apologies for the  interference, mutterings, coughs and splutters, wind turbulence------Now in 2022 I use higher quality video cameras with  great lens--and technology that can send your images back to your computer instantly--even live links as well...
Anyway folks here I am in 2006 on the trail of the Hasell ancestors who came from Cambridgeshire--I know all the stories now but back then all was new and exciting......What's more I have linked other medieval ancestors to Carlisle like Matilda of Huntingdon and her 2nd husband King David I of Scotland--they lived for a while at Carlisle Castle------so the story begins with many other web-links attached to David and Matilda found within my Tree....Loads of web-links now shared folks from You -Tube dispersed within my Family Tree database..........This video allows the reader to visit with me the places the ancestors lived--the churches, castles, cathedrals, towns, cities, villages----The people/the ancestors --Peasants , Paupers .Princes and Kings all found within my tree.........
