Any one interested in History??

... My family history is very important to me and I've gathered together Birth, Marriage and Death certificates, old photos and documents of all kinds. I'll get round to scanning them one day!

My father is a keen genealogist and we have a huge family tree on the dining room wall. We recently made contact with a branch of the family I didn't know existed when I received a friendship request out of the ether on FaceBook. Dad has spent a small fortune over the years on acquiring birth, marriage and death certificates. I have many childhood memories of heaving the huge volumes from the shelves and searching for names at Somerset House and later, when the archive moved, St Catherine's House. Dad also has rather an amazing family photograph collection, which he spends a lot of time organising. Some members of the family have even published memoirs. Yes, interesting
