| A negative Covid-19 rapid antigen test |
Negative! The best state to be in these days, wouldn’t you say? COVID-negative, that is.
Who would have thought, in late 2019 when eastern Australia was experiencing bushfires like never before, that 2020-2022 would be even worse years.
Thankfully, in 2022 we have the benefit of vaccines which, whilst not reducing the risk of infection, do at least reduce the likelihood of serious illness and death.
So far, my many Rapid Antigen Tests have proved negative, as have my PCR tests. Can't say I expect that to continue forever.
However, getting back to family history research.
What are the negatives of diving deep into family history research? Well, for one, not much housework gets done. Nor do I get much sleep - at least in the early days whilst staying up till midnight, 1:00am or later, trying to work out which George W. Tucker was my great grandfather or what was the maiden name of that 4x great grandmother called Mary.
Exploring our DNA can also be negative, especially when a promising match can't be bothered, or maybe doesn't see a message. Or a match with a tree shows just three names or six noted private or has no linked tree at all.
However, the joys of family history research far outweigh the negatives. I doubt there would be many here who would disagree. And fortunately, my significant other is just as passionate about discovering his ancestry as I am.
