This week’s New Scientist has a pretty startling article on memory. Seemingly the greater our store of memories and the greater detail we remember them in, then the more readily do we become able to imagine our future. This is said quite a lot in family history - ie finding out about where you’re coming from being important to people in their lives day, so we shouldn’t be surprised. Still, it’s interesting to think about the usefulness of our memories.

This is very exciting - writing my first family history blog ever!

There’s a lot a want to put down - things I mean to find out (but just need to get on with), anecdotes I mustn’t forget, half-understood stories from our family past.

I’m hoping that the rest of my family will pile in too, and add their thoughts and stories, and then we’ll have a treasure of family info.

 I also suspect that this blogging malarkey is going to be very addictive - and a little self-indulgent (but not fattening).
