Some time back, one of my excuses for not posting on a regular basis was that I was lazy. Considering that my last post was on 7th September 2011, I wonder what that makes me. There must be a word for being more than just lazy.
The quest will, therefore, continue. The loss lat week of an aunt aged 96 was a wake up call. In April we will be celebrating her sister's 90th birthday. My mission, therefore, is to drive my cousins mad with requests for information on each of their families, so that I can have a family tree ready for the party. This will only be the descendants of my dad's grandparents.
I am still working on my mum's family and also my wife Diane's family. Later this month we celebrate our Golden Wedding, so I would like to get as much done as possible on the complete family tree so that we can show our family.
