A brief flurry into genealogy diverted the GF's attention for a while this afternoon. A firtle about through the 1861 census revealed a few more missing links in the family chain. GF always finds it exciting to track back a bit further, or find some new siblings for a known ancestor, or make contact with a distant (and previously unknown) cousin.

So what has GF achieved with his research, probably not that much in the great scheme of things, but in round numbers his family tree:
  • Maps 1169 individuals
  • Through 305 marriages
  • Stretching back to 1738
  • Covering 11 generations
  • and 268 surnames
More to the point... it's fun.
