Over 50, eldest child and now only one.
I remember visiting "aunts" and "uncles" during hot school holidays of long ago. I suppose I got a bit curious and wanted to work out who they were. I've found it totally addictive but I'm lucky in that I live reasonably close to where most of my ancestors lived so if you see someone wandering around churchyards in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire then please say "Hello" because it's probably me!
It gives me a hobby, gets me out in the fresh air and has brought me into contact with cousins all over the world. Also, I suppose I think I'm laying something down for future generations - particularly pleasing as my son has got quite interested too!
