What a small world we live in. Just had a message from Genesreunited telling me of someone wanting information from me about one of my family branches in 1781. I wonder who he is and where he is now. So out came all my folders again with countless documents and notes. I left the actual roll of wallpaper that contains the nitty gritty of the tree in all its detail. I fear that might crumble away if handled too much. Reading through the notes I see others from that branch contacted me a few years ago from California. So I may have the joy of introducing these two to eachother. I also came across correspondence from Australia. How far my ancestors have dispersed from humble beginnings as Lincolnshire farmers!
