Bee...

I was in kinks...had to post as it reminded me of an acquaintance who yrs ago said I was boring because I was interested in Genealogy!!!

I have had so many laughs in my hobby...it's far from boring but very educational!

That entry was 1892 whereas where I come from Chinese Restaurants didn't arrive until the 1970s.

Just glad I wasn't eating my Fried Rice & Curry Sauce, think I would have choked with laughter....so funny  ;D

Not my eyesight, my brain gave out completely one afternoon.  I just knew I had seen a baptism somewhere for a James Westwood.  I searched the Sussex PR's until my eyeballs nearly fell out.


and then..............


I realised I was looking in the wrong county.  I have Westwoods in Hertfordshire and Eastwoods in Sussex  ::) ::) ::) ::)

When the tree is finished.

Relatives have asked if I've finished it yet.

It would help if new records didn't become available and if I didn't find wills belonging to unmarried male relatives that leave money to their children.

My family must think I'm a really slow typist as I've been asked that on several occasions....

"How long does it take".....
"The length of a piece of string"....
"A life-time"  ;D
