Is Family History starting to sour?

[karenlee]

but I cant say that I have ever had the desire to do a little raping or pillaging as would the Vikings.

Oh, go on Joe, live a little 

I have been following this thread with great interest as I have been researching for nearly 30 years and have yet to lose the desire to continue despite all the brickwalls and disappointments.  The thrill of the chase I guess.....

Unfortunately I have not yet had the opportunity to visit the UK which is where all my family originated, but I do live in hope.  At the ripe middle age of 43, with children only 10 years from leaving home..... if they ever do of course.... I can plot and plan my perfect ancestral holiday for some time to come.  All I have to do then is have some cash left over to pay for it all....

Ho Hum...... best get off to work then...

Wev'e all got Irish ancestors .....
(1) Brigett Handley from Limerick was my ggg/m ... yet I have no hankering to go to Limerick.
(2) Catherine Comboy married my gg/g in Manchester Cathedral the only record says 'from Ireland' ... no desire to go there either.
I like Australia ......... not born here but gonna die here 'cos I love the place ... this is where my heart is.

Not me, to be sure, to be sure, to be sure ! 

Sorry, couldn't resist, no offence intended !   

I haven't found any direct Irish Ancestors yet, but with a surname of Martin, it's always a distinct possibility ! 

[Ruskie]

I've got some Irish, but I haven't found a single snippet of extra information about them since I first discovered their names. 

[Jayson]

I've got Irish too, although I didn't think it was an Irish sounding surname.  The name is Tansey, & they came from Sligo.  I haven't really bothered much with this side because I believe Irish research isn't that easy for obvious reasons.  I've got back to 1853 so I know I mustn't expect much more.

I have Walsh or Welsh in my father's Lincolnshire tree dating from around 1700. Irish people have visited |Lincolnshire for agricultural seasonal work since at least the 1950s. How long has this been going on please?
