[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 589934, member: 94045"] I enjoy social history based around my family tree. I have researched right back to the 1500's on several branches, but I'm not one of these that sits at the computer finding names to add to my tree. I love the field work involved. I have searched many an old graveyard for inscriptions, found out where and how my ancestors lived, what they did for a living and where, visited the places and found their homes (some in ruins, some disappeared, some still habited albeit fully modernised these days). I have dozens upon dozens of old wills and documents and every birth, marriage and death certificate for every ancestor back to 1838 when they were first introduced. Fascinating stuff. One of my gt. gt. grandfathers died in 1897 in Derby Infirmary of diabetes at the age of 71!! I am a bit of a bird watcher, too. I also love photography but never to the extent of film cameras and developing my own. I use digital and Photoshop! My previous hobby was my dogs. We only have one now, but have generally had 2 or 3. I started taking them to Agility and Obedience clubs, and as they were boxer dogs noted more for clownish behaviour than good behaviour, it was rewarding to see they held their own, especially at Agility. However, to be competitive at this sport the handler has also to be fit and fast. I'm afraid my dogs outran me every time! [/QUOTE]
