So I shall start my Oscar speech
and give my thanks to all and each
of those who gave me good advice
to find a record, looking twice
at info that might have misled
and put my family tree to bed.
I never would have guessed in truth
that grandad wed (but here's the proof)
not once but twice and in between
was not as good as might have been.
That granny was a closet Scot
that uncle was as like as not
a little racy, handsome lad
persuading housemaids to go 'bad'.

A tree I have whose branches hold
as many rogues as the GR fold.
But before I talk of wags and wums
there's 9 more days then here it comes....

:)

Rambling Report 16 Aug 2010 14:59

Hi Julie, no I didn't get chosen for the Hammersmith thing, 'reserve' lol.

I think I need a break, for longer than a few days...and if I renew I know I won't be able to resist lol.

So once you're gone do stay in touch
by email or telepathy,
since I still haven't done too much
on that small task you set for me.

But since you really are so bad --
obsessively deleting s***
and binning every email add
y -- then there's nothing left for it

but hollering from east to west,
those censuses and BMDs;
shout loudly, and I'll do my best
to find you some wild theories.

And should we find within your tree
a housemaid who in decades past
was my great-grandma Alice C,
Well, we'll be cousins, at long last!

(Patricia, for your account you use one of the other portals -- .com.au, or .co.nz or .co.za.
Your other person is signed in to the .co.uk portal.
Rose gave a link to a thread using .co.uk.
So when you went there, you automatically changed identities!)

(P.S. - tell him that if he doesn't want you reading his mail, he'd better sign out when he's done, now that you know! And vice versa. ;) )

Leave it out Rose....what about me.....If you go then I am left alone....wondering o'er the threads.

If you go, then you will be letting me and others down (Nothing like a guilt trip )....fer goodness sake woman.....any way....Suemaid is coming to visit me next year and I want you ( And Yours ) to come too....and Uggers!.....so you have to stay here just till then at least. So there!

lol Susan ...and I thought 'I' was the drama queen here ;) I shall still be just at the end of the googlemail inbox...and Uggers has that even if no one else does ( and plenty do if they want it ) ...so I will be VERY happy to meet up ...and almost certainly back here before then anyway lol ( DV).

If I make a two month break I shall consider I've done well lol...but thank you all :)
