Listers: Jane Pearson writes "Surely genealogy is more than BD&M. This is correct. Quite possiblely this is why there has been so much interchange re such disparate subjects as St. Patrick, The Orangemen, The United Irishmen. etc. People don't live! They live in a context of time and place. The genealogical experience becomes far richer if we, the researchers, can learn about and TRY to understand the events and time in which our forebears lived. Thats why people like Kay Stanton and others devote themselves to transcribing the ANGLO-CELT. Many people were stimulated to ask questions and that's a good thing. Many people answered, that's an even better thing, for it broadcasts interest in our people and their lives. That's why we take smoke breaks. This is or was kind of a Genealogical smoke break. Selfishly I learned long ago while working in a small South East Asian country to put all life into a perspective. I get a laugh from what I do or it isn't worth doing.
