Oldest and Youngest Rootschatters

Thanks for that Stephen.  "Loving and giving" Lydart ?  You're giving me a hard time but I suspect that you love me

I'm 20 - 21 in July.
I was 18 when I started in family history.

but I'm at a loss to understand this obsession with ages. 

Hi Isles.  I started the thread.  It came up in a conversation I was having with someone about when I started researching the family.  It just made me interested in what the average age of other researchers might be.

Isles ... you say the nicest things !

I'm a Sunday's child. Bonny, blithe, good and gay. Take that as you will.

Hi Dave.  Please forgive me. I was only being ironic.  I'm really obsessed by age each time I look in the mirror  
And Lydart,  I suspect you're being ironic.  If so, you certainly know how to make a happy man old !

I'm only 17. I feel so young.

Nothing to forgive.   Just thought I'd clarify why I started the thread.

Hume24 - Well done.  By the time your my age you should have sorted out the entire UK.

I started when I was 20 (so recently...!  ) when my Dad died and I suddenly realised I knew nothing about his family.

So maybe not so much about age, but simply as our older family diminshes? and therefore we tend to start at middle age?
