I have been researching my family tree on and off since I did it as a history project at school, I love it. The stories you find are fantastic, and when you get back far enough to check census records, it's great the little pictures you can make in your head of how your ancestors lived.
Online sites like ancestry.co.uk are brilliant, as not only does it save having to traipse around to the relevant libraries to look at the records, but it also saves on lugging huge volumes out and back, riffling through pages, etc.
Once every year or two, I pull out the family tree box, and devote any time I have to research. I can't do bits here and there, as I find my research is better focused if I can totally absorb myself this way.
Now I'm into my allotment stuff, I've no idea how I will fit this in  but there must be a way!  |
