When I started this all I wanted to know was about my direct line but that changed when i got stuck. I started to trace other people just to see where they were and what they did and got hooked on expanding out as far as I can. I have found it is more interesting to follow as many of the siblings as I can for as far as I can ..... and now I may have found a cousin (the name is right anyway) who was an inventor. Goes to show you never know what you might find and it was a change from labourers and miners.

I'm definitely a Brancher, or would be, if my tree wasn't more like a juniper bush! Out of the ground, and off in how many directions?
For example, my father had 50 1st cousins; my mother had 35. And that's just one generation!

I asked a statistician how his wife was. He replied "Compared to whose"?
I asked a genealogist how her husband was. She replied "Alright I suppose".
