	Not quite what you were asking but I find this story quite chilling. I knew a man who would be well over a hundred now who was a shepherd on the Sandringham Estate. He and his father were working in the field one night, lambing I would think, during the Great War, when a Zeppelin came over, intent upon bombing the Royal Family. The chilling part was that it came in, silently, at tree top level and Bill and his dad could actually hear the men in the Zeppelin talking.

	My maternal Grandmother, born in the late 1880's, spoke to me about her grandparents who came to England from Ireland in the potato famine, they were born in the 1820's, she told me about there experiences coming over, which she was told by them I will pass this information on to my Grandchildren, so that will be the 7th generation, where someone has has been told an historical fact from someone who was there, and born nearly 200 years ago. Has anyone else got a story from history that was handed down to you ?
