Hello Tom, Bromley, UK calling!

Many congratualtions on the 43rd anniversary.

I am very much a newcomer in comparison. I started up in the pursuit about 10 years ago. I love it & have met family members I never knew. My wife thinks I'm mad. Just wait when I retire!

When I retired a bit early--and was waiting for my husband to catch up with me--my brother asked, "Suz, why don't WE see if WE can locate Mother's birth parents?" WE, of course, turned out to be ME. I thought I would stop once/if I could identify her parents. I did find her Armstrong family (a miracle in the State of California); but, by then,I was "hooked" and have been happily addicted to family research ever since.

Good morning Tom,
Yes, I must add my congrats on this great milestone. I have fond memories of my early beginnings but I am not able to put an exact date such as yours. I had just married to my first spouse and her mother would boast about her family roots in GA and I got fed up with hearing of her bragging. I set out to prove her stories and legends to be false. After stumbling around the local genealogical library and reading some books on early Wiregrass Georgia I discovered what she was telling me was true and much, much more. I became so fascinated that I had a hard time staying away from that little library in Bartow, FL. Now it is a great library and fills many needs. I can only hope others can recall their beginnings.
Thanks

Tom, I'm about 10 years behind you. How did you ever get over that brick wall that we all seem to face? I have been climbing mine for over 20 years, and haven't reached it yet. Keep searching, you never know what or who you will find. After all, you don't really know who you are until you know from whom you are descended.

Tom,

Congratulations on the anniversary...

It's always a great day for genealogy!!

I'm curious, have you done a genealogy resume of your two score and three years of work uncovering your ancestry? Are there published books available for your work? I'm particularly interested in the Richmond family work you did years ago.

All the best -- Randy

If you're interested, there is a very active new group on Facebook called GeneaBloggers. About 60 members so far, some of the folks you already know (Dear Myrtle, for one). Love to see you there!
