Hi

After reading the above posts, I must be very lucky as all of the Family are keen Genealogists - even my 5 year old, bless her.

We all love looking around old churchyards, especially if its one that may contain some of our ancestors - kids have a competion to see who can find the first one, the most, etc.

They like taking pictures of unusual stones and images on stones, which they use when doing family history at school (basic family trees) and often accompany me when I am surveying, transcribing and photograping a churchyard.  My son (10) loves it best when the churchyard is near a railway line as he is train mad, and wants to be an engine driver when he grows up.  I can remember having that dream some 50 years ago.

Well done to everyone who replied to Pam it has been great entertainment reading them.

We attended a family wedding and hubbie couldn't believe i was taking my printed (1.5ins thick) book with me.  When I got there I suddenly realised I knew more about the dead than the living, so currently ringing everyone for their info even more glazed eyes and bored voices.

Chuckle..

My family love the output but not the search.  My younger sisters, are hilarious.  Y'see I'm a scientist but they are artists so we have different views of how it all works.  One of them has created a quilt and she is embroidering the tree on it and give her the names only hyen I'm completely sure of the connections.

She did this whole branch of GREENs in Lochmaben - a good 20 odd people. BUT I discovered fairly recently I'd made a boob!  There were 8 Robert Greens in the village all born within 3 years of each other and got the wrong one!

So the glazed look has gone to venom as she unpicked it... Sad

Anyway, Good luck with your asearches off to shop..

Hi everyone,

Loved reading this topic.  I to get very excited when I find something new and my family think I am completely mad.

I get great support from my husband, though when I start rambling on he has that look in his eyes as if to say "God here we go again.

He did come with me the first time I when to the library in the city. I got so excited when I found the first person I was looking for that the lady next to us reminded us that we were in a library.  So when I found the next one I got excited quietly.

My eldest son said I don't need to find all the dead relatives because he already knows where they are they are dead and buried.

My youngest asked me the other day how old will he be when he dies so I went through the family tree and told him he should live to be in his mid to late 80's.  So now I think he is thinking what is he going to do for the 70 or so years he has left.

My sister said that all parents should be made to write down everything they know about the family so it make it easier for future generations.  Though I can see why some don't want to tell things as I discovered when I found out that my Grandmother was illegitamate and her children did not know.  I think my Aunties have for given me.

Anyway I think this site is fantastic and I have gotten lots of help from it.

Keep up the good work.

Jacquie.

I got sent to bed at 23:30h for being annoying!  But in the hour I was allowed to mix with the living I found my 1881 family and 1901 family - I guess the name PHYTHIAN is a bit easier to find than Hughes in North Wales!

Thanks for your kind words, a couple of look-up requests to come.

I'll check out the archives - thanks.

This line went on hold a few months ago - I find research in England and Wales a bit annoying, the certs are so pricey.  To top that I broke a major wall down in my Scott/Carruthers line so I've been working on that.

Maybe it's time to pick teh Phythians back up  Grin

Thanks for the tip.

Hello Suey,

I would not worry about your nephew's partener some people are just not interested in family history, though it was a bit rude to yawn. 

I use to ring my mother up if I found anything out about her family because I was excited that I had found something.  All my mother would say is are you sure it is the right person and how do you know it is, you could be tracing someone elses line by mistake.  I once asked her if she wanted a copy and she not now maybe later. 
I don't ring her any more I just tell her I have found something when we see each other.  I am sure she is really interested as she has told me some interesting stories about her family.

So we should all get excited when we find something new and not worry about what other people think when we tell them about family history. 

Regards Jacquie.

My mother would answer questions and tell me stories about her family, but other than that she didn't want to know. Until I found her GG-grandparents, and her illegitimate uncle.  Then she got quite keen.

My husband says I am obsessed with dead people.  I have often wished he'd get interested but no luck and now it's too late as we are separating anyway!  Grin  One time we were wondering what to give his mother for her 60th birthday, and he said "I know!  You can research her family tree!"  I said "In three months???"    Shocked
