Family History

Hello! 
I don't know what it is about family history, but I seem to love it! I love knowing the stories of those who are the foundation of my life or seeing photos of my forth great grandmother... Without even just one of these people, I wouldn't be here! Knowing my thirteenth great grandmother, who was the second wife of my thirteenth great grandfather, may not have married him if he hadn't have lost his wife... At least 10000 people wouldn't been here today! I have met via social networking sites, such as Facebook, many relatives who I may have never known about without the help of those sites!? I feel privileged to have a Grandfather who also shares the interest, still alive to help! I think everyone has a unique story to tell, and it isn't to hard to find information on your family, you just need to know where to start and what you are searching for! I have the nickname "Bloodhound" because I have broken family myths from 1908 with a click of a mouse! I have broke multiple myths and I am still going... Though, I have come to a dead end on most of my lines... Apart from my mothers side, which is very hard to track as not much is known, but I hope to carry on when I visit England!

The Olympics

The 'O' word... Olympics... I support two teams, my home country, New Zealand and my favourite country, Great Britain. If Sweden are leading or coming close, I'll support them too as my family is from Sweden as well! I don't really watch the Olympics eagerly... I would  prefer to sit with my headphones in, watching Grey's Anatomy or Downton Abbey! How bad that sounds! I am sorry, but I don't see what the big deal about it is? Maybe I am just blind? I would prefer to see the money go towards helping countries in need, such as Africa, and to help others for the future... Not just for a few weeks!
