There are other men who read this too. When I can't make my mind up to add another ancestral line because I'm not 100% certain, I come on the tips board, and am soon distracted until it's too late to do the work. Sometimes other people's problems seem more interesting than mine, or even easier to make inroads into! Stan

Not wishing to be sexist but this board seems to be mostly female, I thought you were all too busy washing and ironing!

Sue The poems are definitely talking about me. Who on seeing Christine's original message would be obsessed enough to put "Genealogists Anonymous" into Google? You guessed it! David

Hi, Log on to internet, check e-mail, check tips board, check Guest Board, Tips Board, then again to see new replies, then again, then realise 2 hours have passed. Re log on and the cycle starts again. No wonder my house is neglected. Janet

No, you are not alone. I keep looking as maybe I can help someone. Maybe I have, but not everyone comes back to say whether what I have found is useful or not. Their computer has probably overheated and thrown a wobbly.
