h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I found time this morning to have a lurk ,and realised that i have been neglecting my friends on h2g2
I have been researching for the family tree,which started originally about four year ago(not the tree,of course)but have spent as much time as possible on the computer,which has only served to give me a lot of health problems!!!
I already had a basic tree to begin with,but found that one of my direct lines siblings had nine children,which set me off on another path!
I had to buy hubby a new supply of ink,as i had printed so much out,and i am even more curious about relatives now,but i really need to spend more time keeping up with my friends.
I'm if i've neglected anyone,but i'll be around a bit more in future!s.

Hellosal, nice to hear from you
I have had trouble with my internet access recently, and the last few days I've been really busy with peer review, so hardly found the time to stay in touch with friends, which means, that I didn't notice much if somebody else wasn't around
My mum has done researches for the family tree, I guess I'm not yet mature enough to start doing them myself

Hi Sal!

Nice to see you!

Don't worry about us, as long as you are enjoying yourself.. the rest of us will just sit about and wait for you to remember us..

Madam, really Instead of sitting about and twiddling thimbs, you'd rather get those photos sent

.... Oodle flip.. I will try again!!

Does it mean you tried and it failed ? Try top send several mails, with only a few pics attached to each, that should work -I hope.

Yep..
..I will try again later.. must get ready to see Dad now.. *waves*

Have a good day

Hi Sal... Don't worry about us luv, we're all old enough n ugly enough to look after ourselves..
Just you take care of yourself now..

Hello Sal!

I'm glad you're still around. I looked through my friends list last weekend, and half the people on it haven't been on hootoo at all for two months or more, so I was starting to think there had been some sort of mass exodus.

Have you looked at the Surname Profiling website? It doesn't give a tremendous amount of information really, but it is quite interesting if you've got an unusual surname, to compare where people with that name lived in 1881 to the 1998 information. One of the names I looked at had spread more widely through the country, but the other hadn't moved at all!

I'm supposed to be helping my Mum with some of the research she was doing into my Dad's family, but I never seem to get around to it. Too busy watching 'Who Do You Think You Are' - just how fascinating is that programme?!

Chat again soon, I hope.

Hi Liz,so nice to hear from you.I found a site for records of biths etc,and it's fantastic.Just put freeBMD into your search box,and there's so much information!!!I found one of my great grandfathers siblings,of course i was straying away from the blood line...being nosey....but she married and had 9children!!I've managed to find the married names of a couple of them,and even their children,so before long i might find some that are still living.Our little family could turn out to be quite large!!!If there's anything you want looking up.let me know..i'll send my e-mail addy if you want to use it...and if i can help i will do.I've missed a few of the programmes,but i saw the sheila hancock one...it was quite sad really.Look forward to chatting again soon,I really will have to keep up with h2 more!!

Hi, Sal,

I thought I hadn't seen you around lately. Glad you are . I have friends who are researching their family trees, and it seem s to me that it is highly addictive. I have thought about doing it myself but haven't the time.

The other thing is I would have to go back a hundred years to make my first step really. My parents would be 106 and 103 if still alive and the rest of my family has gone, with only one in her late 80s surviving. There are some complications in the family too which would make it a bit of a nightmare, though fascinating.

I guess I shall have to continue wondering.

with your efforts. I f you find anything really interesting or historical please do let us know! I found 'Who do you think you are?' compulsive viewing, but haven't caught all of them yet.

HI there WS.The family tree thing is fascinating,and you only need to spend as much time on it as you can feel comfortable with.Ihave been stuck with a gt,gt,gt,gt gran for about four years,so have taken a different route until summer,when i'll get hubbyto take me to the place i might find the records i want.She was born in 1783/1786 ,and has proved elusive so far.I've uncovered a definite odd side to some of the family,but nothing too drastic.I'll let you knw if i find i have royal blood!!!!

SO.......That's where you've been!

Thanks for the email today ,I'll write back soon.

I'll look forward to hearing from you!
