I think you should all take heed of this thread.

You may think you can handle a bit of genealogy and it will do you no harm but this is the thread of somebody who could not control it. It led on to other, even more peculiar addictions!

Be warned before you are obliged to fill your days with the mindless pursuit of pipe rolls and, God forbid, the minutes of the Court of Sewers, I have been there!

No, we went to see the carrack that visited Weymouth. We need to go abroad to see a cog.

Is this guess the ship?
Is it single masted and square rigged ?

My answer is Cog. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

This is the poor man who had to drive two hundred miles for me to look at a replica ship which was neither flat bottomed nor used for herring fishing!

He did look pleased. I am nominating him for an Oscar.

True Caroline, it's amazing what we sometimes find :-D

I think the fact we're all reading and commenting on a chat board for family trees really means none of us can judge :-D :-D

Hope you have fun

Are the last three ancestors, weights or solicitors?

Brimfast and Fysher, eh?

Sound a bit rude :-S

I looked them up (not 'cos they sounded rude) :-|

Mundham - sounds very mundane - but there's a choice between Mundham in South Norfollk or North or South Mundham in Sussex.

Why so many Mundhams? :-S Why so many compass points? :-(
