Good news on the book and fascinating to read about your ancestors, though the corollary is (for me anyway) that I begin to think 'what's the point?' Were my ancestors reading their ancestors records and will my descendants be reading mine? But so glad you found so really interesting materialFenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-63072342396028775552010-08-12T22:11:02.550+00:002010-08-12T22:11:02.550+00:00Love whimberry pie, with luck i too can pick them ...Love whimberry pie, with luck i too can pick them at the Bog next year.

Do you guess now that none of your current extended family knew anything about this ledger? (I write this as someone who actually knows very, very little about most of my ancestors on my mother's side, although my father once did quite a bit of research about his side of the family.)<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-58146128876743127162010-08-12T13:21:34.141+00:002010-08-12T13:21:34.141+00:00The Bog Centre is a real gem isn't it.

Our relatives worked and farmed in the area, so I suspect, if we delved deep, we might find a bit of family hsitory there too.

Her death,here on the west coast, thousands of miles from her east coast home, was shrouded in mystery. Finding it in Vancouver was an incredible moment.<br />BTW - I'm enjoying the book, even without a connection to the village!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-31627961907551738072010-08-11T22:38:23.306+00:002010-08-11T22:38:23.306+00:00This makes me shiver too, the old "someone wa...This makes me shiver too, the old "someone walked across your grave?" shiver.<br />We should be more like the Chinese.
