Stop Press! A Genealogy Sceptic - 1842:

I came across this statement when browsing at my local archive centre.  An article in "The Galashiels Weekly Journal:  no. 6, 1842" announced:
"Genealogy, in our opinion, is a matter of very little importance, fit only for chattering groups over their tea" 

Is this worthy of being a "Wisdom Wednesday" topic for discussion? 

If you share my liking for press articles, have a look also at:
