Ask your kids as well. Sometimes your parents will have told them stories that you've never heard. |

Good point! I'd be nowhere without my Grandmother. Even though her memory is sketchy at times, she give me little bits to add on every time I see her :) |

Hi Ann, A good tip, I have spoken to various older members of the family and continue to be surprised by the things they come out with. Lesley |

I have been researching my tree for 30 years. In the beginning a lot of basic research was done by my cousin's (then) 17/18 year old son. he doesn't have time these days to do it and lives abroad. it had not occurred to me to go to my cousin for information, until last week when iw rote to ask if she had any memories of out Grandfather. She wrote me two A4 sides of memories with loads of information i didn't know. no dates etc but the interesting bits that bring ancestors alive. i was so pleased to get it and (she is 75 now) so rekieved that i asked her. Just think what i would have missed. so think about your living relatives, anyone older than you, even if a few years, will have older memories of the family. Ann Glos |
