She is tricky.  There was chat that she ended up in a loony bin.  After 17 kids (and 7 infant deaths) I am not surprised!  I am intrigued as to why you get involved in others searches?

   I call it the "Hercule Poirot Syndrome". Or Miss Marple!  I just really love the fun of detectiving -  and plus I get to learn a lot of history and of places I otherwise never would have come across.

Most facinating is seeing  & feeling both the ordinary & extraordinary lives of ordinary people unfolding.  That  everyone has a story to tell     Puts our world in perspective too, to know a lot of the 'basic' life dramas we go through have been happening for hundreds of years. 

Yes, I often wonder how it was in those days - how mothers coped -  to have so many children and so many deaths of little ones. I was looking at a page of deaths in a Canada index the other day - of 12 consecqutive recorded deaths, 8 were infants or stillborn.

Well I might have some more mysteries  you could help me clear up!  I am relatively new to this.

Fire away ! Post lots of topics and that keep us Poirots and Marples happy, lots of us on Rootschat  We have a way of sniffing out the real mystery topics to get stuck into.

We all started off new;  a good lot of what I've learned and still am learning,  has been from being a Rootschatter !
