Hi to All Out There, I’m a new boy; my name is Peter, a retiree.
I enjoy good health which allows me to have active outdoor interests. Sport being the major priority in these activities. I am a country boy at heart, having lived the majority of my life in a small town on the Mid North Coast of NSW.... Tried city life, didn’t like it. Back to the bush I went.
How did I become interested in Genealogy! Well, on retirement I found the lifestyles of a working life, compared to that of a retiree lifestyle, required quite an adjustment (idle time). So, I thought tracing my “Family History�?would be something I could do on "cold wet days" or whenever. As a result, what started out as a minor project has generated itself into a main feature.
Having commenced my project some 5 years ago, and having tasted success, frustration and failure. I realised I’d reached a stage where my involvement in a genealogy group would be both beneficial and informative. And although, I haven’t yet fully explored “our�?website, I must say, so far I’m surprised with the friendliness & willingness of group members to share & help each other in one’s plight of family traces. I’m looking forward to enjoying my “Un-Closeted Skeletons�?membership... Won’t be long before my first request will be listed on the ‘message board�?
Regards to you all and thanks for having me... Peter
