Cynthia Report 1 Dec 2010 21:18

She's gone shopping MC........always spending money she is.



I'm sure my days are getting longer....I never seem to have a minute. Hopefully tomorrow will be more relaxed and I want the weather to stay reasonable so that I can visit my friend in hospital.


Our heat went off again today but after we had had our showers thank goodness. Man came out and chopped some of the pipe off or wotever. Temporary measure till Monday apparently when he will fit the expensive doofah.

Has everyone received the latest email from GR


Dear Tooty,

'Tis the season to share your story

With Christmas just around the corner we thought it would be nice to hear some of the discoveries you have made whilst searching for your family history. The Genes Team are on the lookout for interesting facts such as, who has the biggest tree? Who has the richest ancestor? Whatever it is that you've found, send us your story and if it appears in print we'll send you a £50 M&S voucher.

We're particularly interested in stories covering the categories below:

Biggest Family Tree
Could you be the owner of the largest family tree in the UK?
If you are building your family tree on Genes Reunited let us 
know how many relations you have added.
Rich Ancestors
Have you discovered a rich relative? Maybe you discovered you were related to royalty. How has it impacted your life and the way you live?
Life Changing Discovery
Maybe your search revealed ancestors that started a family business that is still running or a profession that has continued through the generations. Have you moved house or country and completely changed your life because of your discovery?
Past Generations
Have you stayed in the same town or village for decades? We 
want to know which of our members are still living in the same
area as their ancestors were many years ago.


How do I enter? 

To be in with a chance of winning a £50 M&S voucher email your story to [email protected] before 11th December 2010. 

We look forward to reading your story,

The Genes Reunited Team 


I don't think they quite understand genealogy as to me they think the bigger your tree indicates it's well researched

Yeah whats all this with big trees. I was looking on ancestry last night and I was getting angry that someone had my grandfather in his tree. He was related but not close enough for my liking

You are just seething with jealousy cos you are gonna be stuck here in the freezing cold and we are off to a warm country AND a warm welcome...~~~V


There was a car in the Co-op car park today with the numberplate DEA....Nope ,no escape..

I have banned my OH from working on my tree. Not because he is a name collector just because it wants to add in twigs of cousins marriages and then their parents.

I did research a name which appeared in both sides of my tree and was surprised to find that there was a family connection but not where I expected.

Hi all


found some storage "thingies" to try out ....... but Ikea was crazy! It was as bad as a weekend.

MC ----------- yes, I grew up in Oldham, but sort of skirted Lees.

I was born and lived for 11 years in Glodwick, where the race riots were a few years. Then we moved to Waterhead on the other side of Oldham, on the main Huddersfield Road. Lees was in between the two!



TootyFruity ----------- I haven't had that email. Shoudl I throw a tantrum?

:))
