Welcome Ayashi, at 19 you've got to be pretty close to being the youngest.  Glad you're keeping up the family tree.  I'm trying to get younger members of my family interested but to no avail yet.
They're interested, but not enough to assist or take up the research.
Well done.

I'm 21 and have been interested in family history for quite a few years.

An average age of 55 for this forum is very different from most forums I'm a member of, where I would say the average age is around 18-25.

I've had my bus pass for a couple(?!) of years plus senior rail card, great for travelling to record offices  ::)  ;)

My daughter started researching when she was 16, ten years later she's just as keen!
