I don't really remember Nanna as she died when i was five years old but from what other family members say, she wasn't a lady to argue with and took no nonsense.
Its great to be able to know your family. We take it for granted, my husband cannot trace any of his family history because his mother was adopted and no record and his dads father is unknown. He feels quite bereft that he cannot know his roots.

Hello George and thank you for coming by. this is fantastic, since starting this blog i keep finding cousins i didn't know existed. Would you possibly be able to let me have some correct dates regarding Alice as i only have approximate ones? also i tried to look at your blog but nothing appeared, maybe you havent started yet and i'm a bit premature hehehe x
ReplyDeleteSara.. sorry i havent got back to you sooner. i wonder if there might be some way to get him started.. i've not come upon an adoptee as yet but it must be awful for him not knowing his roots x
