Yes, I'm Finding More Ancestors!

Man, oh man, I am finding more and more of those elusive ancestors! I've been going through old English census returns over at Ancestry.com and finding an extra brother or sister for several of the families I am always trying to complete (they're never completed are they?) and I've been able to extend several branches of my lines a little further into the past, as well as bring some forward. Combining census records with the great info over at FreeBMD.com really helps to flesh out a family. Of course more work is needed to be done. Birth, marriage and death certificates need to be consulted.

Maybe I can find that missing will of my 4x-great-grandfather that is proving to be so elusive. Does anyone know more about land transfers in North Yorkshire in the early-to-mid-1800s? The son of my 4x-g-grandfather inherited the family farm, lived there all his life (raising 12 children -- 9 sons!) working about 100 acres and then passed the land on to his son (today the old farm house is a bed-and-breakfast -- I've just gotta visit there some day!).

Ancestry.com: A Lot Of Names And Info

I'm using Ancestry.com again and I'm digging through the various censuses (censi?) for England and Scotland as I track down ancestors left, right and center. Because I'm a subscriber (what? you aren't??) I am locating some surprising information. And a ton of information. Lots of wheat and I'm beating it to separate for the chaff. Of course, I'm looking for Smiths and Thompkins surnames, White and others which are proving difficult to narrow down, but there are tantalizing clues that I can now follow up on.
