Research My Family - sharing sources and genealogical research

My birth certificate states that my father was one Edward John Wood my mother's first husband, but I was always told that my birth father was actually William James Dagg and my mother changed both her and my surname by deed poll about a year after I was born. How many times has that kind of thing happened throughout history I wonder? but it hasn't dampened my interest in the detective work involved in researching a family tree, even though the paper trail, even when we can read it! - some of the census copies are impossible aren't they? - may sometimes take us in entirely the wrong direction! With much help from some wonderful members of my extended family(on three continents) who I have met along the way, I have managed to go back thirteen generations to Philemon Chalk born in the early 1600s a direct ancestor of my mother, and to Thomas Lyndridge born about 1680 the 5th great grandfather of my birth father. I have also corresponded with some wonderful people, some of whom had absolutely nothing to do with the names I have been researching, but had a like-minded interest in "solving the puzzle".
