Partner couldn't care less about his family tree, BUT fully understands what he calls my 'obsession with the dead people'. He dutifully looks through the presentation folders from time to time, understood my need to get into the Dublin GRO on a surprise awaybreak he'd planned, and offers to buy me software as presents.

We are all interested in the Family so makes it easier to get them involved. Like yourself Christmas Cracker I promised my Dad I would do my very best to find history of his real parents.He was fostered and was told too little about them. I searched for years, but unfortunately when I had a breakthrough(finding his sister) they had both died the same year.I'm still plodding on!! Hope you don't mind Carol but I have printed out your verse. Mauxxx |

My family think I am absolutely mad they just cannot understand why I have this hobby. They find it boring and dull and they think I should get a life, no pun intended. But hey ho who cares, I don't I can't imagine what I did before I got hooked on this, I love it. An extra bonus is meeting all the lovely peeps on here. Happy digging!! Sue |

Mine think it's boring and a waste of time, but like all genealogists know, it's addictive. It's heartbreaking when you hit that brick wall and can't get any further, but the joy when you find another link in the chain, another leaf on the twig, another twig on the branch, another branch on the tree, etc. |

My O.H wasn't the least bit interested until one day, stuck on my Tree temporarily, I started on his. Have done so much more on his than mine now. Have even visited the village where his family lived all through the 1800's. Not bad for someone who didn't even know his Grandparents names, Linda |
