The Chiddicks Family Tree
My name is Paul Chiddicks and welcome to My Family History blog. Firstly a little bit about me and why I began tracing my Family Tree; I am 59 years old and I am Married with two grown up children and live in Cheshire in England, having moved from my roots in Essex, through my work, around 25 years ago. I began researching my family tree almost thirty years ago, initially find out more about my Dad who sadly died when I was just three years old, and I haven’t stopped searching and asking questions since! I also have a keen interest in Military History, in particular WW1 and like many of us, I have a number of Ancestors who sadly lost their lives, in the various campaigns of WW1. Some of you might also recognise me from @twitter my username is @chiddickstree and I am a regular host of Twitter’s Tuesday night “Genealogy Feast”, known as #AncestryHour. I also write a regular Blog for Family Tree Magazine and some of my previous blogs can be found via this Link I am also the ‘face’ behind the name of Family Tree Magazine’s ‘Dear Paul’ pages, where I write a regular Family History general miscellany column. I am also a moderator on the very welcoming Forum called Family Tree Forum, link Here I am a member of a number of local Family History Societies and I volunteer on a weekly basis with my local Family History Society in Cheshire, as well as being the twitter poster for the North West Kent Family History Society. As you can see, I like to get involved as much as I can within The Family History Community, I am very conscious of trying to “put something back” into this wonderful hobby that we all love.
