And, I certainly agree, the people I've met doing genealogy are the greatest! (Even if we can't connect as kin - yet.)M.

They told me the story of my great grandmother coming from England to Canada to meet up with her husband. She brought their three children across the ocean with her. One woman two rambunctious kids and a six month old infant. At that time I had them tell me all the names they could remember and as close an approximation of birth and death dates as they could for both their families. Then I put the information away and forgot about it. <br />Many, many years later when I was old and grey, my parents passed away and in the pile of photo albums I inherited was my little booklet of names and dates. I guess I have myself to blame for my current addiction to anything family. I got started on Ancestry.com and have amassed quite the collection of ancestors.<br />The best part has been the people I have met on line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
