My family do listen with interest when I tell them about the hardships, tragedies and scandals I have found in my family research ....... but as for preserving it or continuing ..... no way. :-( |

Hi Ann..About 8/9 years ago Audrey (my late wife)asked me to sort her Family Tree out..She only wanted a few generations back but,,it's so blooming addictive I got one of her grandparents tree back to 1540..I am just updating my 8th Family Tree since I started this research..This one is all in Warwickshire and using the Parish Records I am back to 1450..I just love it.. |

Until recently I would have said that no one in my family was interested. Like Maggie they showed interest in the scandals but that was it. However my eldest son took a DNA test, bullied by his wife who was doing hers, and is now becoming interested. |

My son will probably take all my stuff, as he started it all, before it was all on line. |

FH societies are a possibility but which one I wonder? Could be Hampshire, Devonshire, Somerset, Dorset or Derbyshire. Hmm! |

A slight alternative to the OP - I worked for a small Insurance Company, in London & then in Devon for a total of 34 years. On average, it employed about 100 individuals at any one time. Some stayed for a short number of years while a sizable group, like myself, stuck it out through thick & thin until pension age. |

I do have a cousin on my Dad's side who is also into FH and we have shared info but She is almost the same age as me and I don't think her children are interested. |

My son has helped me a lot, even taking me to record offices and places where our ancestors lived. I hope he will look after my research, but he is not married and does not have children so not sure after that. |
