My interests including photography - reading Chinese philosophers, especially Chuang Tzu, I liked his slightly humorous views in his writings - Alan Watts and I have enjoyed reading and listening to Professor Watts for many years now and thoroughly delight in his works, particularly his books on Zen.
Genealogy takes up much of my spare time. I have finally traced my paternal ancestry to the marriage of my 24x Great Great Grandparents in 1226. Further additional family names have slowed down on my father's side of the family, however there is still my mother's Danish family to explore. I have only found my Great Great Grandparents circa 1850 in the same town my Grandfather was born in 1889. A small town on the west coast of Denmark which was German territory from 1864-1920, a good possibility of Viking ancestors too.
