I especially loved the part about the 1923 map. How cool that it, and your tree, still exist. What a great January you had. That is an excellent way to spend a gloomy winter. I have recently been studying more Irish legends in order to post about them this month. We may get sun here tomorrow or Saturday.

It is interesting for me as this is the first year I've really paid attention to all the goings on in nature every day, and where everything fits as the wheel turns, it's a wonderful learning experience and I love sharing it with my daughter. :)<br />Gosh, I'd forgotten about Joan Hickson playing Miss Marple! Oh I shall have to see if I can get hold of the episodes on DVD - I aodred her when I was younger, and I always wanted a hat like hers!

I love looking at Census returns for whole villages and looking at the street names and the occupations of the householders. You are right about family history as it does lead to learning more about the local and social history of the time you are researching too. I have three of the books on your pile on my shelves too! Good luck with your census project and your war memorial one, too - I look forward to future posts about their progress:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-85951483910800588822010-02-09T09:16:59.788+00:002010-02-09T09:16:59.788+00:00Hello Rowan,
