Good to chat...

Sometimes things go quiet and peter out.... maybe there is an end to our searching?  then meet up with a pal and chew over things.  Thank you Hugo for a few points of interest from our recent coffee date.  I hope he also found something useful in my chatter.  For the moment I must try and get back to general browsing of ancestry website to follow up new leads.

Serendipity

The wonder of family tree research where if you keep digging unexpected items turn up!.  My grandmother was reared in a house of certain name.  I spotted an article of same name in a local history society gazette.  I explained my interest in the property and was fortunate to have email attachment sent to me. It turned out not to be the correct house.  But the society secretary thought I might be interested in two older article published 10 years ago.  They were family reminiscences of our family written by distant cousins.  Lovely to have personal accounts to weave into the fabric of a family tree.
