A new blogger in the village... yes, @BaronessRos is back. But not in the way you'd expect...

I have occasionally mentioned to Ros that it would be nice if she were to start blogging again, if necessary under rather controlled circumstances. But it hasn't worked. She doesn't like the aggressive tone of some of those who comment on political blogs, she doesn't always think that what she's doing in Parliament is that interesting. And so, I haven't succeeded in persuading her to dip her toe back into the water.

And now, all of a sudden, she is back. There is a twist though, in that she isn't blogging about politics, nor does she intend to. Her new blog is about her quest to uncover her family tree, and the unexpected discoveries that she has made along the way.

There have been some frustrations already. Trying to link her blog to Facebook has driven us both slightly crazy with frustration, and she's still mastering Blogger (she'll get there eventually, I'm sure). But if you're intrigued by your family history, I'm sure that her discoveries will be of interest, or even help, to you.

And, if anyone can explain, in extremely simple language, how we might connect her blog to her Facebook page, we'd both be very grateful...
