I thought it about time I introduced myself. I am a very boring person, living alone and trying to keep on top of all the gardening etc...and failing miserably. My main achievement in life is the raising of two super boys to be good citizens. Last September I became a grandma for the first time to Henry Edward, the wonderful son of my youngest boy and my amazing daughter-in-law. My past interests included evening classes at night school in academic subjects,but my main interest was my 'membership' of the Special Constabulary. I had to take the Police entrance exam and learn first aid, and had the same powers as a 'regular' officer. My main interest now...since 1999 is genealogy. I have managed to trace my direct ancestry through my father's line back to 1600 in Wakefield in Yorkshire and an unproved line back to 1500 thanks to records on the internet. I have had two rescue dogs over the years, and I hope I gave them a happy life. One was a rough collie..the 'Lassie' type; the other was Bob a labrador who died last year. My main moans include rubbish cable tv, the Government, taxes and the general cost of living.I am interested in most issues..human and animal but am not an impassioned activist. I leave that to the fit and able these days. Well, I've bored you long enough so I'll say Cheerio for now from June and England! |

First of all: welcome! Genealogy... that's nice for a few generations, but why go back so far? The more you go back, the more ancestors you have. If you go back too far, you have more ancestors than there were people... which means you share ancestry with your neighbour or spouse. In 1807, I have 1,022 ancestors (1802 pop: 1 billion people). In 1607, I have 262,142 ancestors. In 1507, I have 4,194,302 ancestors (1500 pop: 500 million people). In 1332, I have 536,870,910 ancestors. In 1232, I have 8,589,934,590 ancestors (more than the current pop). In 7, I have 4,835,703,278,458,518,000,000,000 ancestors (In 1 CE there were 200-400 million people). Right? Full calculation |

You have mis-understood. By ancestors I have traced them back in a direct line back from my father to 16th century! |
