Ros, my Mum often tells me that something I have found is not true. When I tell her that I have proved it she is still sceptical. Susan

ROS, I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY IRISH RELATIVES, BUT WE THOUGHT WE MAY HAVE HAD SOME, SO WE DID MAKE AN ATTEMPT, BUT FOUND A LOT OF THE RECORDS WERE DESTROYED. WHAT DO YOU DO TO OVERCOME THIS, CAN YOU DO ANYTHING ? PIPS XX

My darling (not) brother-in-law told me that I should concentrate on the living and not the dead. This is a man who has alienated every member of my family and whose children barely speak to him. The reactions of my family range from very interested to bored out of their wits. Susan

No one really criticises but they are not as interested as me----and it hurts!!!! May be your Sister is jealous that you have the time and she doesn't.

The ones that are critical about my research, are the ones that want a print out of the family tree post haste :)) They think it's soooo easy......not! And.... when I ask them what there hobbies are they shut up, cos they haven't got any :)) Heather x
