Babyjane go to to BigFishGames.com download their game manager and the download a game( you store them on your computer) you get the first 90 mins of a game free.

No viruses so don't worry about that.

I have been playing for about 7 years and for about the first two years I didn't buy a game just played the first free 60 mins ( its gone up to 90 mins now) now I have loads.

While he is doing his genealogy you can play games, guarantee you will be hooked. Hidden Object and Adventure games are best.  :)

I'm hoping it's something that hubby and I can do together at some point. His mother has ....ummm.....an interesting past and has left clues after she died.

It's something we would like to explore.

that's kind silverlady but I cannot spend a lot of time on the computer at one go and games make me very poorly due to the intense concentration.

I can find things to do but sometimes I just feel invisible especially when I speak and he doesn't respond. Still at least he is not up to mischief and he does work hard in the garden to make it nice and does his own ironing so I can't have everything   ::)

I have to confess he has found some interesting facts in his family  :)

babyjane men have selective hearing especially when they concentrate on something eg football brain ::) they are all the same in the domestic standing situation.

Doesn't mean they don't love you or care, just the different male, female thing.

I have found that games help with my memory and cognitive abilities, but sometimes can be tiring though I do try to push through it.

Maybe if you can't beat him, join him, even start delving into your own family tree, I was amazed at what I found, my grandmother had been married four times! and that my grand father and great grand father were church ministers, I could never understand why my mother was so anti religion and decided that she must have had enough of it.

My brother was considering having a hair strand tested to find out more about our Celtic ancestry. Then I told him about foot shapes & that got him looking into that aspect. I have an Egyptian foot. So maybe we're not as Celtic as we think.

silverlady I use cryptic crossword puzzles for that, same as my late mother did and her brain was sharp as a tack to the day before she died  :).

I did mum's family tree 12 years ago. I wanted to find out how her birth mother died as no one would tell her. It was lovely to find her birth mother's family with some relatives still alive who mum got to meet.  I worked hard as there was no ancestry uk or internet back when I did it, just the library microfiches and the records office, lots of phone calls and writing letters. I did it for my mum  :)

I have a Egyptian foot too CG but it does not match up with my DNA testing.



So don't know what to think about toes and feet matching your roots.

MY DNA results

1.9% Neanderthal- 0,6% Denisovan
43% Northern Europe
37% Mediterranean
20% South West Asian.

This is only on my mother's DNA, for my father's, only males in the family hand down both sets.

CG maybe your brother should get his DNA tested for his Celtic roots
