I have decided to resurrect this blog and keep a sort of research diary which I know will make enthralling reading for my vast audience –  ha ha. It will also, I hope, help me to see at a glance where I am in my research endeavours.  I tend to be working on a number of projects at any given time, so it will help, I think, to outline exactly what I know about each individual and what I still need to find out – and to define exactly where I am in that process.  If this leads to anything vaguely interesting, I will publish it in the stories section of the  family history website  .  Stand by for excitement plus!!
