The Knowledgeable One
Hello everyone
My name is Jane and I'm a genealogy addict. The first symptoms appeared when I was about 11, when I began quizzing my granny about the meaning of rows of initials on a sampler created by her Scottish granny. Granny didn't know what they meant . . . and that set me thinking. Nearly 40 years later, the sampler has passed down to me, as the eldest granddaughter; it is a physical link bank to that other little girl, my ancestor, who created the sampler so long ago and who inspired me to search for my ancestry.
I've learned about most of the pitfalls in genealogy by falling in them myself! I hope I can help others to navigate around the pot-holes and find their way.
