Real life gets in the way of my hobby, hence not having done much family tree since April or May. My excuse is that I spent quite a lot of the summer on the world's most remote inhabited island, Tristan da Cunha. A British Overseas Territory, there are 262 islanders - and only seven surnames. The musuem features and 'island family tree' on its wall, showing how all the islanders are related, right back to the founding father, William Glass, who settled there in 1815.
I certainly got my family tree fix on that trip!
