    I used to play electric guitar, nowadays it makes me a bit tired and hands are stiff and clumsy, so i would say video games whenever i feel fit for them :)

    Really want to get into reading.

    Ps. Ooh how could i forget... music is life ♡

    @HanzRolo hello again dude! Sorry about your job! On a positive side, you will have plenty free time!

    History is great, love watching documentaries.

    Do you like watching about Nazi Germany or other war related stuff? 

    Good luck with learning Polish lol!

    I dont know it, but it looks and sounds very complicated :D

    Haha hey man :)  Yeah, time to work out what to do next I guess.

    Nah I'm more into Vikings and social history.  Mostly "Dark Age" history.  The bits that there aren't already tonnes written about  :D

    Yeah, I'm dyslexic too so it's been an interesting experience.  I'm teaching myself so no one laughing in class at me which is a bonus.

    Get a notepad (either physical or on your computer) and write down what you know already, parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles etc.  Ask your family what they know and pull it together and see what you have.  You might find you can only get one side of your family to your grandparents or much further back.  Then you should look at the best place for you to start researching.  It's worth noting that some libraries have free access to either Ancestry or FindMyPast so I would check with them before getting a subscription as they can be pricey.  I use both websites as they have different things on them.  FindMyPast is better for UK and Irish, Ancestry is better for North America but both have a lot for Engish and Welsh.  Scotland is trickier, a lot of it is on Scotland'sPeople which you have to pay credits for certificates.  Hope that helps :)

    Hi @MarkN88 - when I looked into my husband's family tree, I used Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/     & they have free trials. They're good for looking at previous census returns. I didn't use the hints that others gave, as I found several to be misleading. Also look online for parish registers to find births, deaths & marriages. I also found online help from one local group who were very knowledgeable.

    I use the DuoLingo app on my smartphone for language learning, it's easy to use and free so definitely worth a look.

    I sporadically do German @Geegeenumber1, I studied it at A-level when I was in education and I just like to brush up every now and again.

    Sehr gut!
