when Im not running a wedding planning board for brides to be...or running my own GD board for friends...I do have one hobby that I have enjoyed since I was 13

I'm obsessed with genealogy....so much so that sitting in a dark dusty musty courthouse or historical society is a turn on for me hehehe.

People that arent into genealogy have no idea the satisfaction you can get from finding just ONE person middle or last name that you've been searching for, for YEARS.

finding a photograph of a geneartions old person that you've been researching is orgasmic as well....to put a face with a name (Im BIG on wanting to visualize people) is just fantastic.

Seeing something they have written in their own handwriting, finding a bible that has been passed from generations starting in the 1700's where mother after mother has dutifully kept logs of births/deaths/weddings will keep me up nights just staring at it.

Finding some court document that was supposedly burned in the county courthouse fire of 1878, but was later found to be in the attic of a judge of that time is just too much to bear lol

can you tell Im obsessed?

Hey there.
I'm very much into geneology too, have managed to go back to around 1730, which took like forever :lol:
Also managed to gain back a piece of Farm Land owned by my great great great grandfather. And his coat of arms, which I think is worth so much more than the land because he worked hard for it, by building The Kennington Oval for King George...
So...As he was a Lord...Am I royal? :blink: :P
Doubt it, but it's nice to go, hey, I'm royal, what are you? :lol:
We feel sorry, because we cry. Angry, because we strike. Affraid, because we tremble.

I've managed to get back to 1787 on one branch....We are Irish on my mom's side,and English on my dad's they came to NC and settled in western NC in the mountains....My mom's family came in thru savannah and settled in north georgia...Im kinda stuck til I can manage to get to the UK and do some reserach there.

I started on my hubby's...he is scottish on both sides an I've gotten back to about 1770 on his moms side (who also settled in the western NC mtns)

hehehehe I've run into no royalty but I have run into a few Jacobites
