Do you get 'distracted' in your research by what is portrayed in the media?

With all the media interest in the anniversary of the start of WW2, it got me thinking, and I've started looking into a couple of areas of family history that I had put on the back burner, directly related to wartime events.

Am I the only one who is so easily distracted/led by the media? I was looking into another area of my family entirely!!

I've also noticed more WW2 threads on here in the past week or so.

Or am I imagining it and just noticing the WW2 threads more?

I think it's because of the anniversary of the start of the war - early September.

I think you can be distracted from the main course of enquiry by lots of things......I certainly am!

Easily distracted?.....................................









What was the question?

Never mind Roger - you'll catch up eventually 

I don't read newspapers and hardly ever watch the news (it's amazing how little it seems to matter!), but I do get distracted by all sorts of things.

Consequently, my family tree is very broad but not very tall.  Come to think of it, that sounds a lot like me
