Excellent a1 That must open up a whole new world. You could go visit & have somewhere to stay. Imagine the family reunion  Are you doing a family tree? Or looking to catch up with members of the family type thing |

Good one A1.
We are doing our family tree and it seems we have relations world wide. So far gone back to 1500's.

lve been doing our family tree too, it started very quietly and turned into a hobby...............the hobby became an obsession! l have traced some of hubbys back to 1560s they were in the states then! and went back to England for a couple of generations. ;D ;D utterly fasinating hobby and you learn so much too!

as well as being very time consuming and costly if you travel around cemetaries ;D
It is amazing how much information is on a headstone from the "olden" days
