What I am working on at the moment is all the children of SAMUEL and FRANCES (nee Stent) PECK (1st cild born 1874 in Lower Hutt) I am wondering what happened to them all, who they married, what they did with their lives and where they are buried etc

*Surprisingly I have just found Samuel and Frances Peck buried in Woodvlle NZ along with daughter Elizabeth and son-in-law Daniel. All this time I thought everyone was in Taita

Dear Paddy, I created a Surname Wiki Page for 'PECK'. Have a look at the links, you may be really surprised...

Glad you're happy, these Surname Wiki Pages sometimes can take more than half an hour to create.

Also, I've noticed in your tree hosted at the free TribalPages site that you seem to have Surnames with another surname next to them in brackets. Is this the maiden name? If so, all women in family trees are known by their maiden name and I would recommend changing this to avoid confusion and to aid in others searching for their ancestors in your fast growing tree. Brackets within a name are generally used in genealogy for someone's nickname or name that they were generally known to family/friends by.

There is also room within the notes section of each individual to include such things as your sources. I recommend acknowledging other genealogists and including their website address in the notes.

thank you for helping - I suppose it is obvious I am still learning how to get around ? My primary concern was to add names, add names, add names . . I have siblings ringing me asking where THEIR info and descendats are :0 - so I get side tracked
Of course I want to acknowlede other genealogists as I hope one day they will add me - just have to learn about doing that. . .
