Fan charts are a useful way of identifying which sides of your tree you might need to put more effort in to researching.

This is my father's paternal side who are based in Scotland. Very easy to see my brickwalls here! I need to work on them now that the Scottish Kirk Sessions have been released. The records aren't yet indexed so it will be scrolling through page by page which is fine if you know where the people came from and where you should be able to find them. I don't for 3/4 of them!!!
I did a quick search for Charles Telfer on Find My Past and was interested to find a transcription that lists the name Hood as well as Telfer. Some of my DNA matches have Hood in their family trees ...... certainly an area to pursue.

This is my father's maternal side from Kent. It is more a that I have been sidelining this side rather than struggling with brickwalls as there is quite a lot of information out there. Find My Past has some excellent images and transcriptions for the East Ashford area where they come from. I am also lucky that there is a Vant One Named Study.
🌟🌟This is a top tip 🌟🌟....... always check if there is a One Named Study for the surname you are researching. You can find a list of One Named Studies here
