This month I decided to just go for it and pay for a month's access to ancestry.com to try and trace me some ancestry.
Mum had been gathering old photos and papers from her brothers and sisters for a while, and always kept mentioning the idea but never seemed to actually move on it. I was patient for a while, but I couldn't take the procrastination any more and snapped. Out whipped the credit card and into the depths of the past I dove with my time machine (otherwise known as iMac).
As I only wanted to pay for one month to start with, just to see what I could find, I've been frantically researching the family history on both parents sides before my access expires in a couple of days; and my brain is so full of people and names and stories I'm starting to feel a little um, confuddled.
I have come up with some interesting leads and stories though, that I will continue to check out... at a more moderate pace. It really is one of those beasts that just gets bigger the more you work at it. A project that I can see, never ends. It's fun; and hopefully it's something that one day my grandchildren will be thankful I did.
