Often wonder if part of the reason BMD recordings were brought in was to discourage inbreeding.

Perhaps most of the inbreeding occurred pre 1837

Genealogists live in the past lane...
Can a first cousin, once removed, return?
A step backwards is progress to a Genealogist.
Genealogy: Tracing descent from someone who didn't.
Heredity: Everyone believes in it - until their children act foolish.
Relativity Theory: Everybody is related - if you go back far enough.

I'm not stuck - I'm ancestrally challenged.
Genealogy: Looking for threads - in a haystack full of needles.
I trace my family history - so I will know who to blame.
Friends come and go - relatives tend to accumulate.
Life: Lived forward & understood backwards.
Genealogy: Not a hobby - an obsession?
Divorce: A family tree pruning...

Quote from: Lloydy on Friday 19 November 04 10:50 GMT (UK)
Thought this one was appropriate as Christmas is approaching:-

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love gave to me,
.....Twelve census searches,
.....Eleven possible matches,
....Ten email contacts,
.....Nine headstone rubbings,
.....Eight birth and death dates,
.....Six second cousins,
.....Five coats of arms!
.....Four GEDCOM files
.....Three old wills
.....Two CD-ROMs
.....And a branch in my family tree!

Author Unknown


Its been a long time Lloydy (isn't it always in this addiction of ours !) ...

... but what did your true love give you on the seventh day ??
