So, what do you do when living on a boat in January in Cartagena, Spain? Most of the time, ordinary things that most do in their own homes – cooking, dishes, cleaning, laundry, going grocery shopping, run errands to pick up things in a variety of stores and find time to read and relax.

Ancestors...
I'm pleased to hear that you have had a breakthrough in your hunt for ancestors. I remember early on in my hunt, having a knight as an ancestor was a big deal. Recently my travels have been to where my ancestors came from, with my blogs from last August and September to Scotland and Sweden being an example. I found that once you can find an ancestor through Google, you are provided links to many ancestry websites. I found geni.com to be the best as it has documentation like church records, legal documents, etc. And it provides the names of the parents and children, so you can go up and down the tree. I had so many I have had to cull anyone not in the direct bloodline like aunts/uncles. At this moment I have 21,485 direct ancestors going back to a Welsh ancestor born in 40 BC; a Swedish/Norwegian ancestor going back 240 AD, and the Arab general who conquered the Iberian peninsula., etc. .Good luck in your search!
