Hmm. I think the further away in time they are the less "real" they seem. I am not too bothered at having to stop going further back. But there are some gaps in more close ancestors that I would like to fill.

It's odd though, how I feel an affinity for some more than others. I am fond of my great x 3 grandmother Kezia Seals/Saul/Sales as it took me years to find her baptism and once I'd managed that I could go back several further generations. I felt I'd got the basic facts for her, given her parents and siblings. I was also glad to find a female NOT called Ann, Elizabeth, Mary or Sarah!
