Thank you for the sweet comments. It is always lovely to 'chat' with you. What treasures having all those tapes. Your Mom too, how brilliant that she started this genealogy research years ago. I should have added in my post that it's not always possible to ask parents and grandparents, or even other relatives. My sister and I were just starting to talk about family stories before she passed, as being older she remembered a lot more than I did. I am very blessed that Gregg took such an interest as he discovers someone new every day. Enjoy the rest of your week Marie.

Good to see you are back. Loved reading the genealogy post. Mom started doing our family's history when our daughter was small, and she has worked long and hard on it...I joined in, and also started adding info on my hubby's family (which Mom did do some) and then my son-in-law's family. There's still a lot to do. I have tapes of my grandmother and great-aunt answering questions about their childhood that I made when I was a young teen. Mom has interviewed and documented stories about many of the older relatives. All that was priceless! Unfortunately my hubby's family were never taped or interviewed as one grandmother died three years before he was born, and he lost that grandfather when he was 15 and had never thought to get info from him. The other grandparents he was not close to. His mother gave me some info but had a cerebral hemmorage the year Russell and I got married, and her memory suffered after that. I did get a little from his Dad. Thank goodness for things like Ancestry. You can find out a LOT!

What wonderful cups George Arthur Turley has won, but as you say it would be good to find out what for. All I am aware of about my family is my Father was born in Wales and my Mother in Ireland, so what chance do I stand??? All the best to you both.
