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.

  1. 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.
