I don't know about that Michael. I'll ask my daughter tomorrow if grand-children do it. Just know I've never been good with numbers. Was really surprised when daughter loved maths.

Morning all. Well I have a choice of jobs today. Fence painting, ironing and 'doing' the Fevre family. As we are forecated with heavy rain this afternoon, I think I'll make the most of it and start with the fence painting. Then depending on the mood after that I'll tackle one of the other two
Enjoy your day all

Good morning Julia. First two options not very appealing are they? Now the Fevre family does sound intriguing. Easier to research than White and Taylor (two of my family branches) I would guess if they are UK based I suppose.

No need to delete any Jeannie, they're not taking up any space on my computer.......and, it's quite handy being able to see if and when I have pm'd people who aren't replying. If you get what I mean!

Done enough painting for today. Had to come back in before I drop. So the ironing has no chance today. Think I'll have a mooch around the sites and see what I can find. Between the Fevres,Arnulls and Rowers, they are one big headache. Wonders if I will ever get to the bottom of them before I go completely grey or even bald

Quick reminder

Cynthia - it was just the thought of scrolling through 8040 just to find the right one! I know they are stored at GR. One of the snippets of knowledge I HAVE acquired.

Julia - being the nosy sort of person I am I popped Fevre into bmd. One birth came up in my area of Hampshire out of the 134? births. No death or marriage round here though.

Jeannie, I just have to type in the surname of the person I am looking for........easy peasy. Cx

As Jeanie is having an away day playing with the Navy, I'll add to this to keep it nudged.
Michael, sorry to hear about your hanging baskets and lawn. Hope both are drying out nicely. We did not get the forecasted thunder storm and the subsequent deluge of rain. So it is off to water for me, having performed all my domestic duties (well for today anyway), then back to the fence painting.
Will keep popping on here to see how the thread is going.

Julie you must have a lot of fence or a very small brush !!

I'm back! Didn't see any sailors. Went with my daughter to meet newly found rellies. A young lady born with the same surname as my mother's maiden name and her mother (who obviously married a man with that name). My daughter said on the way down that she would probably just sit there and not say a word. Towards the end of the meeting I couldn't help smiling. She was chatting away nineteen to the dozen. A really enjoyable change from routine - exchanging photos and stories.

I'm a very happy bunny - but extremely tired. Haven't had a nap!

Yes, it was great Michael. Too tired now to do much but the nudging.
