You know when you're obsessed with FH when...
« on: Wednesday 23 March 11 07:49 GMT (UK) »
You spend the evening with some friends and all you can think about is where to find the death date of Gtx4 Uncle George.

You quiz everyone you meet who has one of 'your names' as to where their ancestors came from - just in case!

You read a fiction book and the character lived in a village where your ancestors lived - and you check Google maps to see how close they were

It's the last thing you think of at night and the first thing you think about in the morning and pretty much all you think about all day. I need help.  ;D

Not quite the first thing I do every morning, but very nearly!! 

Switch on computer to allow virus scans etc to go through whilst I'm making a cup of coffee.  Check e-mails, check Yorkshire Indexers and then Rootschat.   ;D ;D

Sad, really, isn't it?

I don't check emails first because it takes my ISP ages to load them so I look at rootschat while I am waiting.    Well that is my excuse. 

I am guilty of doing what the other posters do as well though.  Still it keeps my brain active  ;D   ;D
