Quick, get round to see your gran with a bunch of flowers and ask her for her remembrances. Just think...if she can remember her grandmother that could take you into the early 1800s. :eek:

Thanks unsworth for the updated advice on the photographs...things change and we need to be on the ball.

Don't let the sheer magnitude of the task daunt you, pixie, an old Chinese proverb says "A journey of a 1,000 miles begins with a single step"...take one day at a time and never give up!

Good hunting...

Dotty :grin:

Just think - she may even have some old certificates! Take a pad and pen and make notes. I am amazed at how old ladies remember dates and things from their childhood. Just jot it all down because you never know when it will be useful

I already know my Nans Dad's name (her maiden name) was Harding and he was a vicar/pastor and the family went to America to live.

She's not very "here" any more I'm afraid and that's all she was able to tell me.

Her married name was Robinson (my Mums Maiden name).

Maybe I'm not doing too bad so far then by the sound of it.
