What a wonderful evening I’ve had. Miss 18 (almost 19) granddaughter that I very rarely see nowadays due to she’s now working & has a boyfriend, got in touch. “Hey Grandma, long time no see, can I come round”. I said of course & checked to see if there was a blue moon due.
She arrived around 4pm, purpose of visit was because she is doing a family tree & wanted to do the maternal side of her Dads (my son) family. I was thinking I wouldn’t be a great help as I thought my memory would betray me once we got past my grandparents as my recollections were hazy. It was fabulous, we did my maternal & paternal side & a name would crop up that sparked a memory & we’d go from there. I can’t believe how far back we got. Got stuck in the 1700’s on my Mums side, but the last we found on my Dads side who I must admit was an only child, went back to 1605 😃. My goodness they kept fabulous records in the UK.
We had dinner together & talked about family & issues on all sides & it was just the most amazing few hours with this lovely young woman. #Ancestry #Family #History
