Re Family Research - A Big Thank You
Sometime in November I posted re family research, and received helpful replies from Leslie R, Maureen B, Matthew G and Stella, so I'd like to say a big thank you to you all. Not long afterwards, on 30th Nov. my broadband cut off. A nightmare couple of weeks followed with me and Virgin (don't ask!) which resulted in me deciding to change BB providers, which I've now found is definitely not for the faint-hearted!
Went to BT, and my new BB was finally activated on 20th Dec. Fantastic, except I discovered that I couldn't navigate around anywhere, open links or other pages, etc.etc. unless I waited for 4/5 minutes for every link to open. Got onto BT engineers, who diagnosed that it was my Internet Explorer that was now acting up, so they installed Google Chrome for me, which happily seems to be ok. So I've been without broadband for close on a month, which has seemed like an eternity. Only reason I'm boring everyone with this is that when people take the trouble to respond to you, and then silence, they'd be forgiven for thinking they'd wasted their time.
But I've been lucky, because a relative has been digging around (on family research) on my behalf, since I've been offline, and I've now nailed the elusive grandfather I was searching for. So I now know that after getting my (unmarried) grandmother pregnant in 1907, promising to marry her and then going back on the deal, he married someone else soon after (she was pregnant also), had two more children, then skipped off to Australia! The Bounder!!
A belated Happy Christmas to all, and all good wishes for a peaceful and happy New Year.
