Anyone else into seeking their ancestors?

[darksideofthemoon]

I have become adicted to Ancestry.com and am lucky enough that one side of my family can be researched way back into the dim times.

The other side has hit a brick wall and I have to wait until someone else in the world may have more information.

How is everyone else going?

Thank you very much for those sites.....it looks to me that is was indeed the Boys Brigade....it makes sense with what I know of his life in Scotland.

My Gran was a wizz with the iron, wasn;t she.:^O

Well done detective Mon.  It all helps to put together little bits of who our ancestors (Flashies Dad in this case) are.  This is what I am finding in going through my uncles bits and pieces, he kept everything. I have six years of love letters (his and hers he handwrote, then edited, then typed with carbon paper) its a facsinatining insight into his life and I now understand him a bit more.

Good morning 🙂

That was a real success wasn't it... hope we have some more great finds like that.
