In 1999 when I was librarian of a college resource centre in East London for a few years my ‘boss’, who was the deputy principal of the college, told me about his hobby – genealogy. This piqued my interest, especially when he explained about the genealogy interest groups that communicated via e-mail. He also explained about all the information available on the internet and gave me a few websites to look at. I did not know then what an adventure lay in store.
