Just saying hello as I have just joined.
Watch this postI never thought when I reached seventy how the years would fly by. Since then I think everybody part started to fall to bits.
I chose to get divorced 10 years ago so I am on my own. That's not a problem, it was like that when I was married.
Writing poetry got me through my divorce. I also paint and have been working on various family trees since the 80's long before the help of computers. I certainly recommend genealogy if you are lonely.
I have loads of 'friends' there. Just a pity they are all dead. I would love to chat to some of them. They are fascinating.
Well, that's a bit about me.

I have never been to the National Library but I would think it's crammed full of useful info.
When I started to research my tree back in the 80's I was quite fortunate to have a couple of places nearby where I could search. Are you on Ancestry.com?
I've placed some notes on here somewhere about genealogy, but I can't find where I put it.
That's the problem with a busy mind in old age, it all gets muddled !
