How do you keep your interest going with #genealogy? Is the spark still alive? Or is the magic gone?

This is something that I've been struggling with. Recently, I had to make a few decisions on where to spend my #time.

I would love to hear from others on their thoughts about gen #research, #brickwalls, and #burnout

I wrote down a few of my thoughts and issues:

Well, that's *two* #brickwalls knocked down today.

Found the birth of Elsie Doris Lamburn - turns out she was given the name Elsie Doris Merken at birth. Lamburn was mother's maiden name.

Found the birth of Emma Knellor - It was recorded as Nellor.

One of them (Elsie Doris) does raise more questions than the number of questions it answers.

Obviously. 😆
