The second day of my course was all theory. In an effort to retain the maximum amount of information, I intend to write about the theory topics here. However, I probably won't write posts for the practical topics, which I notice will start from topic 4 onwards. We'll see what happens when the time comes.

I'm officially a student. Instantly, images of a young girl pop into my mind, carrying an armful of books as she heads off to her next class. She's smiling and laughing and surrounded by equally young, active people. That's definitely not me in the crowd! The ageometre stopped pointing to "young" a couple of decades ago, so I'm trying to adjust that persistent image to something a little closer to the truth -- a middle-aged, no that will never do -- a mature woman carrying her stack of books to the kitchen table to study. Yes, that will do just fine.

I have a few Irish connections, but not many considering the number of people in my tree. G, on the other hand, has a direct ancestor who was Irish and moved to Scotland; one of his children (or maybe a few of them, I can’t clearly remember offhand) emigrated to Australia. This is a clear indication that genealogists can easily be looking in the wrong place for the information they seek.
