I’ve just noticed the date on my last posting in the Genealogy section here and, goodness me, it is almost eleven months since I last said anything on the subject.
Does this mean that I have moved on to other hobbies? Not a bit of it! A day doesn’t go by when I haven’t fired up Firefox and its 13 Home Page tabs which open up specific pages on the Ancestry site.
So, what have I been doing?
Well, I’ve put my attempt to sort out all the Roscoe surnames, and their variations, on hold but I will return to it in due course.
At the moment, I’m mainly concentrating on tracking Robertsons in the east of Fife on behalf of a friend and it is a slow process because there are quite a few of them and, it being Scotland, it can be pricey too.
Recently, I have also actually ventured out to wander round a cemetery or two which is something I haven’t done in decades. There is a big difference, too, because a digital camera is so much more useful than the old pen and paper. And it is a very pleasant activity on a sunny day with congenial company!
I receive a steady trickle of emails and messages from people who have tripped over my website so can I never predict what I will be doing each day because I never know what tangent I’ll be sent off on next. And I always have the ToDo folder in my email Inbox nagging away at me – I really should open it up.
So much for the update – Firefox, here I come (the blog is open in Google Chrome!)…
