I have no such success stories of great magnitude, but what i find the most satisfying is when you find a relative to add into my family tree is bringing them back to life in a sense and by having them added is that they are not forgotten!!

In the few short years i have been doing this i have yet to have a day where i havnt thought about one of them. I am begining to worry about myself

Do you think it is a collective hysteria type condition? I have it too then.

Hi Joette

What ever it is i am sure they will find an "official" term for it one day

After searching the medical records and finding they are well out of date
I realised what we are suffering from is an inflammatory condition of the research lobe of the brain called GENEALOGITIS.

It is non-contagious under normal conditions but can affect web surfers who accidentally land on Talking Scot and and one or two other high impact sites.

The only known treatment (reached empirically!) is to expiate the condition by writing lists; communicating with fellow sufferers at length, depth and great rate; incessantly tracking non-existent relatives and inventing spurious family trees. Sufferers have the delusion that they will reach the end of their family line but to date no-one has actually linked directly to either Adam or EVE.

As yet recovery rates have not been elucidated and there are some cases which arose even before the birth of the Internet. (5 year rates not yet evaluated)

As yet no-one has put forward this condition as a thesis for medical study but there is a closely linked social study just beginning.

It really is contagious, I have caught it and given it to my husband and I do believe one of my lovely grandaughters has caught it as well.

Going on holiday to America in a few weeks and my husband thinks I may have to have my laptop surgically removed before we go.

Ah, but do all of you, like me, enter everyones Birth, Marriage and Death in your new diary every year so you dont forget those either (but dont enter the living,s birthdays or anniversaries !)

My wife has done that meticulously since we got married (and before that too).
She is calling for her new diary before October starts to be ready for the New Year!

Russell

P.S. You're normal

[Tracey]

Thanks Russell,

Normal is the nicest thing ive been called for a while concerning family research, and i thank your wife for being as observant as me and putting me in the "normal" catagory!

Russell - that's a good one

So is it just a rumour that if you use 2 SP credits, you'll feel better in the morning?
