I have been involved with researching my family history since I was about 10 years old and my parents took us round the graveyard in Mevagissey, Cornwall trying to find some information about my father's family. That interest has always been with me and after the youngest of our 6 children started school, I was able to spend more and more time finding our family as I worked in our local Family History Centre helping others to find their families. When I didn't know what to do next, I asked someone else and loved to learn.

After our youngest daughter started 6th form college, I too went back to college to gain a teaching qualification and was offered a job teaching Family History in local community colleges, what a joy! To be paid teaching something I loved to do was just wonderful! I taught classes from beginners to advanced and continued to learn as much as I could about family history research, especially in the British Isles, germany and South Africa.
