G'Day, I am 75 years old and my big sister has decided I should look for the ancestors. Nothing but troubles as I have promised I will do it on the cheap until I can get some knowledge. Here I see people post on the forum for help in searching, my biggest problem is how do I post.. Have a good day Alfie A

You're never too old Alfie! Better a late-starter than a non-starter You'll get lots of help here, to guide you and find what you are searching for. Kudos to you for not being afraid of getting addicted to genealogy. Family history is a lot of fun once you get going.

Hi Alfie
Good to see at your age that you are keeping your mind active, but be warned this family history is very very addictive, expect a few more grey hairs............

Good luck
