Patience is a definite requirement, but you also have to have some pretty damn good detective skills too......and be able to think 'outside the box'.
I have already found out some pretty mind blowing things.....not that I have found anyone famous or anything like that......bit I found out that my Grandma married someone old enough to be her father. That my mum and dad only knew each other for 3 weeks before they got married....and it wasn't a shotgun affair either....and the marriage lasted for something like 42 years until my dad died.
It is also quite exhilarating when you find a 'missing link'....and manage to put names to faces on old pictures. Yes, I think you could say I'm hooked.
