Genealogy is Utterly Fascinating

[Miss Poohs]

isn't it?

You get one mystery solved and another just trotts along right behind.

The wonderful Hyslops are involved again!!!

Ain't they just wonderful?

I could easily give up my day job and just do this for a living

Hi Miss Poohs
I'd agree - certainly in my experience, it has always seemed that one question answered.....usually prompts at least another half dozen new questions!

Best wishes

Hi Miss Poohs

I did give up my day job and now can concentrate on this full-time - Well when Im not being instructed in the fine art of vacuum cleaning and trolley pushing

It's more fun solving your own family mysteries rather than relying on someone else to set the problems.
I haven't watched a TV mystery since I started searching for family.

Roll on the next problem

Hi
I agree with all of the above.
Everytime I have a day off I find myself in here on TS or SP or LDS you name it I look at it. I start with saying just 1hr then I'll vacuum, do the shopping visit a friend but before I know it the family are home demanding to be fed!
I just have to keep solving the mysteries!
One night, my husbands 2nd cousin asked me to look at their gr grandfather and before bedtime I had them back another 3 generations and found another mystery (still to be solved).
First time I visited NRH about 5 yrs ago, I went in there at 9 and didn't come out 'til closing, even forgetting to eat & drink it was soooo fascinating. Now I go in in the evenings with the LFS so I don't feel faint when I leave!
Yes, I could quite easily give up my present job and do this full time
its much more satisfying.
Regards and happy hunting
Bertha

Hi Miss Poohs

I find myself torn between all the different branches. When I get fed up with one/meet a brickwall, I go back refreshed to another and have to try and remember where I was up to! Unfortunately the Scottish side have come to a dead end for quite a while - does no-one out there belong to the Knoxes of Renfrew???? Oh well, no doubt I'll be back over the border before too long, when I get fed up with the English side.
