If your interested

Its cold grey and overcast here!,,lol..welcome to scotland..lol :)

I do have a website..another hobby of mine..well interest.
Aviation..love arcraft....

Strangley only ever flown once..in a Sea King helicopter. Leaving present from the Officers for me & Linda when we left our jobs for the move.
We worked on a military base. HMS Excellent, Portsmouth.

Oh dear! I was going to say at least the sun is shining but I don't know if it is where you are ;-) first sunny day we've had in Dorset for a while.

Plus gives me something to do..stuck in doors allday. Other half works..so on me own 90% of the time...with no money to go out..and all me freinds hundreds of miles away....I need something to occupy my time.

I used to fix & build pc's for friends etc..self taught..but now no money..thats out the window..

Plus I loved cycling...but cant now,, this arthritis has killed off my life....

Oh well..could be worse.

Well..I was rather good at art at school..got an O level..and 1 in tech drawings.
But never reached my potential...lack of family encouragement..and money.

last job I had was in catering. Doing that for 18 years till the move....now...I was virtually crippled by the pain. Getting better....but never gonna be the same.

I could have never dreamt of the family links Ive found..Its been really eye opening.

But are you any good at painting?
No one famous in my tree,or infamous!
I have a dead end which looks like it'll always be and he's my great great grandfather Richard SMITH how I dislike that particular surname.
I've also found out that I'm an anglo saxon through and through,nearest I get to any foreign blood is my grandmother was welsh only when she was born Monmouthshire was technically part of England :-) Most of my family and my husbands is firmly rooted in Somerset I even found a very distant link through marriage that joins my and my husband's tree's!!!that was a bit of a worry at first I checked my children had the correct number of toes etc....

I was hoping to find a scottish link..as yet none..but have found Dutch, American, Australian, Greek, Irish...right mish mash!..but no scots..which is the link im looking for...lol

I have even found a couple of websites dedicated to some folks trees to which Im related!

If I was to add all those Id have 70,000+ in my tree!!....lol

Its just some like Jack & Albert are dead ends..and they are some of my closest rellies!!

Shame.

Plus Ive found Im mildly related to Vincent Van Gough.. the painter..lol..bizarre!

That's really good :-) there is so much online now makes it much easier to find the info.

But ive done rather well considering..I have just over 700 in my tree!..not bad, :)

Me only 3 months or so..

I started with pretty much nothing..I didnt even know where my own parents were born..let alone grandparents...did even know their names!!

It started as a hobby for me too, think it's becoming an obsession now, been at it for about 8 years ;-)

Must be the cold damp weather that has set it off.I feel for you x

I dont have any family....just my partner Linda..we not married..but she is scottish..hence the move back.

LOL...move I would have left it behind in the move...lol....no It came on once I had moved....just my luck.

At least their surnames aren't smith or jones. They give me such a headache............
