This is Rosetta Lockwood, 1795 - 1857, my 4th great-grandmother. She was born in Somerstown, Middlesex, England and died in West Maitland, NSW, Australia.
I've actually been sitting here for hours, trying to put in a screen shot of a 15th great-grandfather down to me, but alas, I can't figure out how to do it.
Must say I'm quite proud of myself for getting back that far on one line. I'm attempting to do that on every line and that means hundreds of ancestors! And hundreds of hours of work!
This explains why I'm way behind in answering emails and I do apologise. There's only one explanation - ancestry searching is addictive.
Winifred, I am at last sleeping better, and without resorting to tablets. There was an article in the Herald a while back, saying most people were having sleep problems due to the heat and humidity, so I know I wasn't Robinson Crusoe. In fact, almost everybody I spoke to was having problems. Thankfully the weather is cooler now and I've actually taken the two fans out of the bedroom (ready to store) and put on a doona that is a little warmer, though sometimes all I need is a sheet.
It's good that you're able to go straight back to sleep after getting up with Roy. Muffy is the one I get up to, as she comes in very late and wants to go out very early.
Emma's music is coming along all right. Her teacher is in Japan at the moment, with her 104-yr-old grandmother who is not well. The trombone looks unwieldy to me, but she seems to be handling it OK. Last week there was a band recital - we were all most impressed.
Being a guide at the Bishop's Palace will be lovely for you.
Give my love to Roy.
Olga - I think you should read 'Sapiens' and find out what is so good about it! The author has a new angle on a lot of things.

I am amazed that there are a supply of photographs of your family I found it difficult to sort ours out on paper so where to look for photographs is beyond me. I could not find a trace of pictures especially of my mother's family from County Silgo and lost interest in dad's family when I found out gg-grandad and his wife Maria had 7 children very quickly and the poor dear Maria died in childbirth with number eight then gg-grandad promptly wed Maria's sister and produced another 7 children with her all named for the ones both she and the aforesaid Maria had lost at birth.
I lost iterest very early in the search. When I watch 'My Lost Family' and 'Family
History' on TV it all seems so simple. Obviously they never tell us of the dozens of researchers working on the project. When you get an interest to follow Diane you really go for it whereas when I have to dig and delve I lose enthusiasm.
Roy's family are much easier, they have all lived in Yorkshire for the past 800 years !
