I agree with Elaine Allen. I sometimes don't have enough time during the Holidays and many other times to pick up a book and read it from one end to another about a Holiday, living conditions, meanings of words etc. before another Holiday arrives. Thusly, I appreciate the tidbits given on the list about history. And isn't that what genealogy is, history? Information gleaned from the list helps fill out the bones of my ancestors. Sometimes I can see their faces, where they lived and how they lived through stories (short ones) given on the list. In other words, thanks for the history/genealogy lessons. Keep up the good work.

Hullo Elaine and other friends I heartily agree with you. Because I was born in Cornwall of a Cornish mother and Ulster/Devon father, I am also a member of the Cornish List. We have two Lists - one for genealogy alone and the other which covers history, geography, customs, recipes and other information of general interest which, as you rightly say, gives us an idea as to how our ancestors lived. Listmum steps in when she feels a thread has outlived its usefulness, otherwise the delete key is just a touch away.
