Eldest D will take over as our Family Historian when I have to hand over. Meanwhile I find that most people are fascinated by the Pedigree Charts, even if they say I'm wasting my time! Jim

Went to a family occasion on Sunday and dropping the fact that the wife's grandfather had been killed by being knocked off his bike in 1928 and we'd tracked down the newspaper report of it provided a topic of conversation for a bit.

My husband and daughter can't understand why I want to find both my families(Mum's and Dad's). Now I'm older I just want to record my family history before it's completely forgotten .I never knew anything about my Dad's family in New Zealand as he left in 1964 when I was 11 and Mum never talked about him (don't blame her), As I have been finding things out, she doesn't mind now.I just think it's totally fascinating finding your Family History!!

Hi Helen! My husband has fishing (YAWN!)I have my tree, he moans at me all the time for what sometimes seems like ages on the search pages but I soon put him in his place by commenting that at least I don't sit on a river bank for a FIVE hour match in the midst of winter hoping to catch a fish and and ending up catching nothing at all!! now THATS what I call a waste of time!

Returned home recently to find new screensaver installed on my computer by my fourteen year old son. The words "I am a family history freak" float across the screen.
