She had the novel idea of putting her family tree on the dress - so far so good. It then goes on to tell how she had 25 names in January of this year and now she has over 500.......going back to 1450!!! note to self......must ring her and get her to do my tree for me LOL Mary

	It's a novel idea but sounds like she hadn't realised what a big project she was taking on! To have got that far back that quickly (assuming it is correct) she must have found an ancestor from the nobility. I hope other people reading that don't assume it is always that easy! Sue

	It is a wonderful idea though:)))) If her ancestors had large families and she includes the siblings and their children, it soon adds up.
