hi lin i'll let you be nosey, you have to be nosey with this hobby otherwise we wouldn't get anywhere. I started towards the end of last year, and really got into in january 2004. My reason for starting was my daughter and hubby were expecting katie feb 2004 and i knew they were going to emigrate to new zealand in the future [ which has been put off for another year] I wanted to be able to give my 1st grandaughter a book on her past in england with stories and photos of her ancestors in case she never returned to this country, so she has something to pas onto her kids etc. Now all 5 of my adult kids want a book to so i will be kept busy for a few years yet. As for how far i have got i have almost 1300 in my tree and some lines are back to gr gr gr gr and others only gr grandparents so it'll be a while yet, some people have been researching for over 20 years sso i'm a novice in my 1st year but i thorougly enjoy it happy hunting sandra |

I have got to know you all mainly in the General Topic board, but I don't know your interests in Genealogy. Give me and others a clue - when did you start, why did you start and make me green with envy, how far have to got. Sorry for being nosey, but it's the one thing we have in common apart from being a load of chatter boxes. Lin |
