Yeah. I know...just I'm not working at the mo..
Since moving to scotland..I now have inflammatory arthritis. So spare cash is a luxury in itself!

Shame they didn't name any of the children after his mum or dad.

Christmas is coming get your rellies to buy you the certs instead of prezzies ;-)
Arthritis and you moved to scotland????????

Medication and trips to the hospital are more important.....this is really just a hobby. As I knew nothing of my family past.

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

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

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

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

Shame.

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

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

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....

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.

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.
