Good morning all,
Well, judging by the amount of unhappiness I can see I was not the only one whose family research has come to a shuddering halt - Truth is I finished my family history quite some time ago, and I use FindMyPast for a slightly different reason - since my 20s I have collected old books, and now in my September years, being curious about the people who originally owned my books, and many of the books bearing bookplates or inscriptions with the names of the original owners, I research them and write a short biography which I place in the individual books. I like to think that this acts as a small memorial to the original owner and increases the interest value of the book so hat when I am gone and my books find other homes, they will be the more appreciated.
A weird hobby, I know . . . . but then, I was a strange child . . . ha ha
Keep up the complaining . .
