I think I shall....

Thank you everyone for your supportive comments.
Sorry, Ladkyis, unless you need someone in Canada traced, I think you are closer to your ancestors than I am and much wiser!
When I get home from the office today I may just take up your suggestions..... I am beginning to think that people hooked on genealogy are also alcoholics....

Geaneaholics.......is there such a word.

I prefer tea, but a glass of something on occasion, smooths out the bumps.

I just love the way some people don't bother to check their dates, with some of the trees on Ancestry
Hugh.

I have come across a quite spectacular one recently. An ancestor managed to escape the workhouse to pop over to New Jersey to die (after which presumably being shipped back to Stafford to be buried). His parents despite living their whole life in the States seem to have shipped over to Birmingham to have their son. In fact there is an amazing amount of flitting back and forth across the pond right back to the 13th century but I think that the name of his mother as "Director Weeks" takes the buscuit. I can only imagine that the compiler of the tree is still in school....primary school!

opposite to Hugh, I had some-one insist that an ancestor of mine was married and a mother by the time she was 9 years old. The most ridiculous part was that they also insisted that she was Scottish when she was born and lived all her life within 10 miles of York.
Unfortunately there's no talking to some folk.
