Yes BW I have found ...........all of you lot!!

I have!
Cos of Genealogy I found firstly Gardener, Linell, San, Rob, Jimmy, Rosegarden, Peterd, Mumbles, Suki, BC Wench,
and lots of other wonderful people! On the very first forum I went on Rowley Regis online.
And then because of their help and expertise I found more great researchers via the BCC Tree!

Along the way I have found some good and bad things but all interesting and this has to be the most addictive
hobby besides Corrie!

Quite possibly the soppiest response we'll get in here NL :p

Corrie is quite addictive, I'll admit, but yes genealogy is more addictive.

My mum wants me to find living relatives now, rather than go any further back. Ought to be interesting, considering we've just had a marriage in the family...

I am currently planning a trip to Ireland, both to check the records and to also visit where my ancestors lived. I have family over there anyway, but it seems that my ancestors lived all over the place.

Family live in Co. Tipperary, but I have ancestors from Co. Offaly, Co. Mayo, and Co. Fermanagh (so a trip to the six counties will be needed too).

It's nice to know I am amongst people who "understand" when I tell my other friends what I am doing and why I am visiting a certain place they look at me like I have lost the plot :oops:

Likewise Northern Lass, I can remember when you were just starting your research and look at you now :wink:
We're just like 'One big family' all mucking in to help each other!
There are other names I could mention but wont because I know they will be included in your 'lots of wonderful people'

Just one thing - why did you put Rob in 4th place? :roll:
