Trouble over Family History !!!

[mimosa]

I guess I am lucky my family (especially my MIL) and friends all ask me how it is going and at first I though they were just doing it to shut me up so I stopped telling them and kept it all to myself and then they started asking (are you still doing you family tree what have you found) so now when I find something new I tell them. Have told a few people about Rootchat and have them all watching on a Wedensday night WGYTYA some have even asked me to do some research for them.

As far as going round grave yards Hubby comes with me and he seems to have more luck than me too.

So I am going to carry on and on coz I am addicted.

Karen, your photo reminds me of when my boys were small. If it was a nice day I would say get a ball, lets go out for the day.

Oh no Mum, not another graveyard, they would cry

My SO is interested and comes out graveyard hunting as does my daughter.  She is 7 and gets all excited when she finds a grave...

My mum and dad are quite intrested but I think I get so excited I confuse them.....lol

I love the picture. It reminds me of the cemetery trip we made this summer (two of my brothers, my two kids and I). We were looking for some stones in a cemetery and my daughter (4 years old) excitedly calls my brother over and he goes running. After they examined the stone for a few, I called over, "You know Tim, she can't read."

KarenM,   that has got to be one of the best pictures I have ever seen.

My family all love to hear about my research, my son even sprouts to his mate's about it.
 Now when they come in first thing they say is hi Raels anything new today...
My Dad at 80 just cant believe you can get so much information from a computer,
 and now when I visit him he will say..."oh I remembered something to tell you"
 sadly mum isn't here to see what she got me to start

Cheers Raels

The family: absolutely not interested - until there is a 'juicy' piece of info for a bit of scandal.  In July this year me and hubby went to County Mayo to look for ancestors and covered 7, yes 7 graveyards in the most our of the way places. I was in my 'element'; I cannot say the same for my very patient husband.  We can now laugh about it now though.  Happy hunting

It was my parents that started me off!  And still take an active interest in my research    Don't know about my brother as he lives in Scotland.

Hubby listens patiently to any new exciting discoveries, then asks me if I heard the latest "Janet & John" story on Wogan this morning! 

His parents are also interested to a point, and being N. Irish with many emigrees to Canada & New Zealand,  they have managed to keep in touch with all their various cousins.  BUT my MiLaw refuses to do any serious research, she says I can do it!

My 2 sons are also interested - to a point - as they have both benefited by travelling to New Zealand, Australia & Canada because of my contact with new cousins who JUST happen to have Rugby connections!

when my mum was alive we would visit my dads  grave and stop and look at other graves.  mum always said she would have to take me to other relatives graves such as her parents but i never got the chance so my oldest brother has now got the job.

my eldest daughter is like me and loves looking at grave stones there is a cemetery near us the old brompton on the fulham road and it is such a lovely place and so old you can still see the old lead coffins in the vaults. my daughter often walks through it to get to my place she uses it as a short cut but it actually takes her longer

my sons however find it boaring and want to hurry through the cemetery's now my nine year old granddaughter has the bug and likes doing what mum and Nan do so that is 4 generations who like looking a grave stones and all female
