Julie I'm excited for you too! I got 2 new ones last week so I know how you're feeling. My sister thought it was boring too until I asked for her assistance taking photos (she's a photographer) at the local crematorium for another GC member. We also went to the cemetery next door and took some photos of a family grave. She now wants to come with me when I go and visit 2 other family graves and she asked if she could take a look at my (our) tree on here. Think the bug must be catching! Jeanette

Don't worry. You are not going crazy - we are all the same!! Helen Smith (my hero!!) helped me yesterday and found a marriage that I have been struggling with for about 2 weeks and thought I had no hope of finding. I am going to send off for the certificate today and I am already excited about getting the certificate and finding out the father's names so I can find new leads!!! Whenever I tell people that I am doing a family tree, they look at me like I am nuts and say it is a boring hobby. I also thought this - until I got into it and it really is a buzz when you get a hit!! I love it. Good luck. I hope your certificates come quickly!!!

my certificates come this week, that i ordered last saturday from the FRC!!! They are posted today (hopefully) it's quite exciting as i'm sure i'll get several new leads and some new entries on the next generation of my tree!! and they're the first ones i've ordered from there!!! I really should get out more shouldn't I? Julie T:)
