I know I'm addicted when I was most excited to get an Ancestry sub for Xmas!
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

It's difficult enough coping with "Jones" but "Roads" is dreadful!

I have one of those picture frames for a memory stick so they scroll on a screen, most of the photos on there are gravestones or cemeteries!!
