Hello fastfusion,

I hope to catch up with you sometime.  I must confess that I have long abandoned my own family research (that would include the Shergold's), I'm sorry to say.  What I was finding out was much too close to home and upset me too much.  I moved on to my husband's.  Much less painful, and quite interesting.  Then, after I gave a course on Beginner's Genealogy, an acquaintance said, "Will you find my father, please?"  I gulped and said, "Okay".  Then he added, that, oh, by the way, he'd like a family tree and to know what they all died of.  Turns out he was the illegitimate son of a renegade 'society' type.  The father was a big, physical, outdoorsy kind of guy and was running away from an  authoritarian father who was pressuring him to conform.  Of course, he was the black sheep.  He, sadly, was also dead.  But the family went back and back in time, with incredible stories.  I'm wading around the early 1700's now and am absolutely fascinated.  My friend is in shock.

On Feb. 1 I am off to RootsTech in Salt Lake City.  It is a huge conference where genealogists and technologists meet up.  Check out their site at www.rootstech.org.  I may twitter (under the handle Canukgenie) or Google+ from there, if I have time, which I very well might not.  Yes, I use Google+.  I've pretty much given up on Facebook.  Google+ is much easier and integrates all Google's products, but sadly not enough people have turned to it.  Wish they would.

Thanks for thinking of me.

sometimes in genealogy the stories are not always positive,  and regretably the reason i genealogy is because of my late father,  so i can relate to your thoughts....   life is short though,  and with many peoples help worldwide  we find family for people no matter the reasons...   i had one yesterday that would give u shudders where a lady died and no body found her for a couple of days... to live and die alone is one of gods mysteries but when one finds she was not on good terms with family either  well what does one say.
but to be able to participate in genealogy and gets some rewards in knowing any contribution helps is why i continue to do it....  cos on the same day the  girls in chat found me a set of records on another tree which i would not have found.....    please  dont be sad  i wasted 18 years grieving my fathers families truths... but i  now have a long lost cousin  i talk to regularly who gives me great pleasure....
