Since I,ve been mainly "away" so to speak, I,ve been knuckling down to my family tree and structuring it better and visiting relatives etc; BUT out of the blue I got a mail from America telling me my gran,s mother was in this woman,s tree somewhere. So she sends another mail the same night and shows me a piccie of my Irish gt gt grandmother Margaret Frazer, not very Irish sounding but still she lived there back in the 1820s.
So although I,m mainly doing my pop,s side of the tree, it pays to have some trails here and there so that complete strangers get in touch and give you a surprise.
Talk about getting messagers from the grave, this internet business is really weird and full of surprises.
My advice to family tree makers or relative seekers is as I said "leave your trail, your footprint now" AND NEVER GIVE UP HOPE of finding someone.
cheers peeps. kvn
