I have mentioned my all consuming passion for genealogy on these pages before. I am always interested to find links with past generations, which are often related to health issues or, certainly in the husbands family, ability or skills. In his family there is a clear leaning towards the arts - a family of artists, scuptors and musicians. Mine.....? Drinkers, apparently!
Although it can't be definatively proved, in my family I have found links to my hereditary deafness and my double-jointedness. I also tracked down the origins of my daughter's red hair.
Sadly, I now seem to be in the position of passing on something to a future generation....my poor wee poppet has tonsillitis

Ah, that's why she's been ill. Poor old thing.
I was setting up stopwords on one of our local studies indices and I noticed that the word "drunk" was so frequent it would be difficult to do a search that wouldn't garner two or three thousand hits. I was going to take the word out of the index but I'm told that the drunk & disorderly reports are one of the best ways to find the missing links in Edwardian geneaology.
