Just thought it may be an idea to leave our future ggggg's a message some way on our hopes and dreams our lives ,,the good and bad times,,so they caould get some insight to the real us !! pity Gene's dosn't have a time capsule

I would imagine tracing ancestors is going to be harder for future generations. With so many people living together, marriage certificates/records will be few and far between.

I think I'll have to start kepping a journal more than once in a blue moon. I was given a pretty little diary a few years ago and the first entry was all about me (who I am, who my family are, what I want to do and were I want to go - all that junk). But my lot will think I'm a nut as I've inherited my grandfathers obsesion of collecting Funeral service programs (well there a record of death and burial/cremation dates). They'll also lose the plot when they realise that I'm on the electrol roll twice in some years (home and uni). Besides I plan to still be here in 100 years time and still compiling my tree, so with any luck no-one will need to trace me because I'll have a compleat record of decendants (and my brothers and cousins) that I can keep up to date. Gwen Don't assume that having so may names will make your hubby easy to find. I have a Henry James John that is a pain in the neck! I have his daughters birth, his marriage (that I had to use the wifes name to find), a death and a birth reference. But do you think I can find him on a census Nooooooooooooo, because they only seem to have put one name, but which one? He was know locally as Joe! aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

I'm gonna have to change my name!!! my husbands okay h'e got first name and three middle they used all family names on him,,and run out for his brother

Hi Gwen I`m the same as Gwynne I`m the only one with my maiden name and the only one with my married surname as well! Diane :))

Do you think they knew somthing !!!!!!!!!! that perhaps family history would become an obsessive occupation ,,,,in the future,

Hi Gwen, My parents sorted it out for me. I am the only person in the UK with my first name and maiden surname. And there are only 3 with my forename and married surname. Gwynne
