As for ancestry, researching it can be addictive but I am probably happiest when watching "Who do you Think You are?" Because, even though it's not my ancestors, someone else has already done all the hard work!

My older, now late brother Graham and my father's surname was "Nicholson"...and that is not the name my brother and I carried...unfortunately. What's in a name, they asked? I know whose DNA I carry....and that is what matters to me, I know a fair bit about my ancestry...and that will do me. I don't have to start climbing any trees. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-34584958847543467462018-10-15T18:06:26.157-07:002018-10-15T18:06:26.157-07:00Hey there, Jan.

My research into the missus' family history turned up that she may not be who she claimed to be as her legal surname seemingly had no basis in her DNA genealogy. How do you create a family tree then when the biological tree differs from the legal tree. It's like having a gum tree and maple all intertwined. Too difficult for my puny tree-drawing artistry so I gave up.

I often wonder what exactly they are looking for and if they found out everything - where would they go from there? On the tree theme, trees are covered in bark and dogs also bark.

That's probably because it was thoroughly researched on my Mother's side by my maternal Great Uncle when I was still a youngster. When he retired (early) he spent his time travelling to study old church records. My Brother has an interest and so have some of the younger members of the family.
