It's unfortunate when you have petty and juvenile family members in your tree. Especially when they come from the same family. Like they say like mother, like daughter or like father like son. In a time when the family should be pulling together, these people decide to become more distant, even if another family member has fallen ill. Oh well their loss. No wonder a certain son once to fly the coup and move interstate or overseas. I would too. Still trying to locate a long lost relative, but without any luck. Ciao.

Not quire sure where you are with this BUT we arent reponsible for the decisions our family members make, As long as we know we did our best in the upbringing then the decisions an adult makes to how they conduct themselves is their decision.
Have found some ancestors who didnt seem to do the right thing But who am I to say as dont know their circumstances at the time ,Yes they may have been wrong uns but we all have them in our families.

Hi Shirley, yes you are right. I was just getting something off my chest without mentioning names that may get me into trouble. Thanks.
