Hello Mrs Rosa,

Just for the record: you told us in an earlier message that you were in your late 50s, and if that's so you've only got a couple of years on me - and no way do I want to start thinking of myself as 'old' just yet. But more interestingly, far from everyone being younger than us, I think you'd probably find that very often the people lucky enough to have plenty of time to devote to a family history research hobby are well into their retirement years. But of course there's no way of telling as we all try and keep a lively, open attitude.
